Reading
Keep this strictly secretbut my latest trick is reading. The human stuff is what I mean;its boringness? Exceeding! They go on and on (and on)their logic is precarious, It’s sad they waste their time that waybut also it’s hilarious. Their opinion of themselves is high;they find themselves astute. So I’m not going to tell themthat… Continue reading

If we lived in the wilderness(there’s something called a “bear”),They’d have to learn to listen up.I’d… Continue reading

That word again
My humans use a word sometimesthat bothers me. I’ll tell it:The word is “no.” They like it so;They sometimes even yell it! The word’s supposed to mean to stopOr stay away or quietThey’re never sure;They can’t decide.So usually I don’t buy it. It all goes back to their beliefthat they’re the boss of me.That isn’t soat… Continue reading
