| there she is folks!
pica the queen of the cats! the marvel of the universe! the fairest of the fair!
we shout several things like this

By Walt & Bonnie Phillips
| she's adept at sleeping
on either of her sides her right when she's up against him and her left when she's up against her she likes to keep them happy this way the only drawback to the nightly bliss is that he occasionally snores abruptly and wickedly and this can truly rev up the old kitty ticker for a bit |
By Walt & Bonnie Phillips
| how can she not
like clams? they're sea stuff aren't they? she's a cat she's supposed to like sea stuff listen, cat you're supposed to like clams and crab and mackerel and tuna and haddock she walks away she knows after much discussion we'll wise up and put down some knockout chicken flavored dry stuff and some fresh water if you don't mind |
| Since 1959, Walt Phillips' poetry has been published in numerous small press publications. His poems are also included in many online collections. At his daughter Bess Kemp's suggestion, Walt and his wife, Bonnie, collaborated on these poems about pica, who Walt describes as "the black and white ruler of the domicile."
The Walt Phillips Gallery, which features his art work and poetry, is dedicated to the memory of his wife of 43 years. |
