and look like a clown
half naked with a vacuum cleaner
still it does not instill fear
in my kids,
rather burst into fits of laughter
they throw their fleece jackets,
now buck naked
they fly around my head
sound of broken glass
fill my head
I tumble drunkenly
slick like a seal,
one kid hugs me
another smiles gleefully
"our cat has a wounded look
why?
because it has missed all the fun"

You really got chaos of a household with small children in this!
Ha ha....that's cool! Cat's don't like missing all the fun!
Purr-fect! poor sad little cute kitty cat, jump in and you can play too!
It's so funny too because in the entire work of art the cat seems to be the most normal of all!
