I lick Gertie's ear,

while holding her in my arms.

Then we have a fight.

--Eddie

Staring at his "mouse",

he cries when it does not move.

Eddie is a twit.

--Gertie

(note: Eddie's "mouse" is a toy. He's afraid of the real thing.) 

I prick up my ears,

but don't hear the sound of food.

I won't purr today.

              --Gertie

She sleeps near my chair,

while dreaming of catnip toys.

I think I'll bite her.

                                  --Eddie

Sitting on the sill,

he looks outside the window

and mews at a moth.

by Gert and Eddie

I sleep on the bed

in a spot I will not share.

Eddie, go away!

--Gertie

The vacuum is loud,

but I have no fear of it,

until it's turned on.

                       --Eddie

I drink in the sink.

Water does not bother me

unless I get wet.

--Gertie

When under the couch

my favorite toy I'm seeking

I reach out with claw.

--Eddie

The cabinet has

a puzzle for me to solve:

how to open it.

--Gertie

Sitting in the sun

my fur coat gets very warm.

I like the feeling.

--Gertie

We watch humans change

their fur of many colors.

Why do they do that?

--Gertie and Eddie

The higher the place

the more I like to lie where

no one can reach me.

--Gertie

The verses we wrote

celebrate our happy lives.

We hope you liked them!

--Gertie and Eddie
