VERSE UPON BANK OF AMERICA HOLDING MY CHECKS AND ANGERING MY CAT "These checks will be held for two weeks", they said, "because they are very large and from New Jersey" This much is true But I am now home and my cat is angry He looks up through his sloth with narrowed eyes He querulously naiows his consternation Tonight I will sleep the sleep of a good man but my cat will not know rest burring hair on his back, whiskers fanned looking out on the rooftops with disdain and contempt at spots where other cats have sat outdoor cats cats with no collars no names cats that dig through dumpsters clawing towards the smell of day-old filets skittering perhaps like a word whispered into a wind on a moonless night in a dark alley behind the bank that holds my checks. Bank of America should not be in the business of angering cats.
NOTE: In July of 2005 I changed banks. My new back only holds checks for 5 days.

The above was written by Mike. Mike is not only a really cool dude, but writes some poetry. Funny poetry I must say. He has a sense of humor that cannot be described in normal terms. I'm glad I met Mike, and I hope he continues to crack me up.
BONUS POEM!
"I HAVE, IN MY TIME, SEEN SOME CHEESES..." fragment Affectionately dedicated to Christopher Hume
I have, in my time, seen some cheeses. No stranger to Swiss or Gruyere I may, as I wander wherever I pleases, pause often to ponder the prized food of meeses and of some poets, here and there. MEUNSTER AND BRIE IT'S ALL THE SAME TO ME (belloweth the mislactothrope) I HAVE, IN MY TIME HAD BETTER WITH WINE THAN WAS FORMED IN THE BOWELS OF A GOAT What discord! What spite has been uttered, to curdle my smooth creamy dream? Who cares not for dairy or greets with a shudder relation to cheesecake and to butter to milk and to thick dreamy cream? ...
