Friday Oct. 27 is Black Cat Day. Black cats are beautiful and elegant, but often seen as unlucky and mischievous. In fact, black cats are less likely to be adopted than other cats because those that are superstitious consider them bad luck.

My, oh my, this foolish world

Soap opera drama stuck in its twirl

Yep, some character surgery

May aid the world-weary

 Witless souls living a daymare

Paper dolls don’t know what to wear

Squinting won’t make it better

Hey, I saw two for one fetters

Let’s cop a shoulder-pad attitude

And turn the page on the rude

Here we go loop de loop, here we go loop de li

Internet spies stole the apple pie

In all the kerfuffle where’s respect

The need to connect is a disconnect

We’ve grown tired of the charade

The spineless masquerade

Though it may be hard to cope

We must never lose hope

-Eugenia

    I thought what Michael Jackson did was earlier than that, but I guess 2002 is 15 years ago now.

    Another reason I’ve seen that people don’t adopt black cats: they don’t photograph well. I’m serious. Personally, I love black cats. I love cats, anyway, but black cats especially. Every one we’ve had has been goofy and had lots of personality.

      Wow, I didn’t know they don’t photograph well. I guess they can easily blend in dark backgrounds. I love cats, as well, and I have no problems with black cats.

    Our black cat Midnight arrived on our farm looking gaunt and abused ten years ago. She lived in our barn all that summer and we finally coaxed her into the house that December. She adopted us and we just don’t know how we ever managed without her. Black cats rock! 🙂 xo

    Black dogs don’t fare well in shelters either – but Tuxedo, one of my Shih Tzus, was black with a white ruff, and he was a sweetheart.

    2001 — 15 years that seem to have flown by in hardly any time at all. The reminder that stopped me COLD was Bush’s nasty push-through sneak attack that resulted in the creation of the Dept of Homeland Security before Congress could actually READ what they were signing into law. Shameful.

    It will, no doubt, go down in history as the American fascist manifesto that paved the way for the roll-back of civil liberties and the xenophobia we’re currently experiencing from the top in this country FOUNDED by immigrantion.

    At least I HOPE we’ve learned something since McCarthy and his henchmentin the 50s and the failure of Isolationism — and that things turn around in our very next election!! Is that information still taught in our public schools these days?

      I don’t know what is taught in our schools today and can only hope it is better than what was taught in my day. I am referring specifically to history because now we find there are so many holes in what we were taught. With that said, I’ve read some horror stories about what is taught today and feel our educational system needs a complete overhaul. Besides math and languages, what subjects can be applied to everyday life? Sure, there are better choices in higher education but I am referring to the basics and building foundations for continuing education and the application of in the real world.

        I pray that De Voss and crew don’t turn everything into sales and marketing. I can’t think of anything worse than the nonsense [supposedly not a] voucher system she has renamed “school choice.”

    This was one of the years that wasn’t really in my memory Eugenia, so thanks for the reminder. Seems a lot more happened over your way than in the UK in 2002.

    So it was United Nation Day today, and nobody here could spare a minute or a word for unity! And we keep celebrating different versions of the same thing – Valentine’s/Rose/Friendship Days …. etc. etc.

    These two lines are beautiful

      I agree with you about UN Day. Pumpkin Day will probably draw more attention. I am glad you enjoyed the poem.

    Yes, we must never lose hope especially when we are having a hard time coping. My chatter this week is a bit heavy…in fact, I got myself all upset and had to take a break. But I am glad I said what I had to say. Thanks for keeping the Cafe open.
