Hello Kitty

Seeing as everyone is doing their take on Hello Kitty for Sanrio's 50th anniversary I thought I'd have a go. I haven't done a kitten parasite for a while and they're always a treat to draw so I've seized the chance. Adorable.

National Poetry Day 2010

Today is National Poetry Day. So why don't you sit down and write a poem. It's easier than you think.... Especially if you're writing about parasites. Kittens work too.

Reesyculd liftoafers

There are different kinds of diets

Just meat or only fruit juices

But the food regime this kitten is on

Is to eat what the parasite chooses

Sucked from kitty to parasite

What the cat eats is mixed up with bile

Sloshed around in organic chambers

And left to ferment for a while

It's a labour intensive procedure

On the parasite's brow seat beads glisten

It'll get its reward in the morning

When the concoction's pumped back in the kitten.

Sefenfreesef enerbus

It's good you're still reading this stupid blog

You've seen many bizarre things

And still they keep on coming

Look, a kitten with insect wings.

The wings of course are a parasite's

Who takes the kitten for a spin

But the poor thing travels backwards

Only seeing where it has been.

The parasite won't notice

It's focused on its mission

Concerned imaginary trays on landing time

Will be in the upright position.

Hoosbehynde marsk

Like a motorbike helmet

With an eye for a visor

This parasite holds tight

With a powerful incisor.

The kitten mews loudly

But on the outside there's silence

Perfect soundproofing

Hides the internal violence.

Inside this cocoon

Is a horrible place

As a million small pincers

Torment the cats face.

Rumfirwunmer untop

This eight legged blob finds it so hard to skitter

With the weight up on top of a whole kitty litter

It travels so slowly, the speed of an escargot

Trundling along with its live feline cargo.

On the journey the kittens are protected from bruises

By cushioning slime that the parasite oozes

And when it is time to rest up for the night

They're sucked back into jelly, snug out of sight.

Sekreeshus delishus

Held aloft in a spotty papoose

This kitten is farmed for its delicious juice

Harvested cat nectar is pumped down a pipe

While the parasite's waiting, ready to swipe

Droplets divine of pure cat filtered goodness

Efficiently slurped up without any mess

The luscious lipped slug beast exclusively eats

The ambrosial juices the kitten secretes

Although so delectable you couldn't endorse

The cruel way of obtaining this fine feline sauce

But nevertheless in shops round the country

You can easily buy jars of this rich kitten bounty.
