MY SPECTACULAR WIN!


HELLO, my many FANS and MINIONS. It is I,

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE CAT

bearing STUPENDOUS NEWS of GREAT IMPORT!

I have JUST WON the

VALENTINES DAY HATEFEST
POETRY CONTEST

held annually by Rawknrobyn of Life by Chocolate blog.

My winning 
IMMORTAL POEM OF GENIUS
reads as follows --

Dedicated to all the many tomcats out there
who broke my heart over the years:

"This is for you
Without paradox --
A heart-shaped poop
In my litterbox."

ISN'T THAT GREAT?????

NO WONDER I WON!!!!!

My human, Debra She Who Seeks, also
entered an UNSUCCESSFUL poem in the contest
which (did I mention?) SHE LOST TO ME
but since I'm feeling

MAGNANIMOUSLY GRACIOUS
IN MY WELL-DESERVED VICTORY

 I am including it here for your
PITYING PERUSAL.

Her PATHETIC ATTEMPT reads as follows --

"At least I have not quit.
I still have a chance.
At least I have not hit
The rock bottom of romance.
At least I'm not a total shit
Like couch fucker JD Vance!"


MY NEXT TRIUMPH will undoubtedly be
a LIFE APPOINTMENT to the PRESTIGIOUS POSITION of

POET LAUREATE OF THE WORLD!

In the meantime, please now feel free to
SHOWER ME WITH PRAISE AND ADMIRATION
in the Comments section.

I humbly thank you.

Monday Murals -- Let's Drum!

I'm taking part today in
Monday Murals hosted by Sami.


I took this photo in April, 2012 at the 
which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was a temporary mural on a wooden hoarding
built to hide some construction/restoration work
going on behind it.

I'm a fan of Japanese taiko drumming
and of course, as a Canadian, I'm also
drawn to any depiction of maple leaves!

Happy Valentines Day!


Well, Valentines Day is always a mixed bag, isn't it?









How about supporting a fundraiser that is
mean-spirited and yet generous
all at the same time?

Or, as the poster says,
"Petty with a purpose"



And here is HRH's heartfelt valentine to you all --

Guess What Today Is!


I've made some wonderful internet friends
over the years through blogging!

I bet you have too!

People who share similar interests,
life experiences, outlooks, or opinions.

That's the basis for friendship in any world,
real or virtual, whether or not you
ever actually meet in person.


It's probably just as well that we don't
all live in the same city.

That would be too much awesomeness
for any one place to handle!

Black History Month -- Viola Desmond


Viola Desmond (1914 - 1965)

Canadian businesswoman, civil and women's rights activist,
arrested, convicted and fined for challenging racial segregation
in a Nova Scotia cinema in 1946 (pardoned in 2010);
in 2018, she became the first Canadian-born woman
to appear alone on a Canadian bank note (our current $10 bill),
with the Canadian Human Rights Museum on the reverse.
