Out or in?


Out or in?

Could you please open the door?
It's not too much to as for.
I'm not sure which way to go
But when it's open then I'll know
So could you please open the door?
I do not like to be ignored.

Cat's are like this.  Never knowing which way to go once you open the door for them.  Out or in?  My cat, Tuna, has a habit of staring inside at you from the door.  She has her little paws up in the window and she sits there mewing at you until you come out and see her or let her inside.  She also has a habit of looking inside when she's out.  And then looking outside when she's in.  (If she's not running away from you to hide under my sister's bed.  She's weird.  I don't know.)  I know that when I went home for fall break, she really enjoyed having the company.  There was so much purring and cuddling from that cat!  I always thought that her purring sounds like a coffee pot percolating mixed with a tribble from Star Trek.  I was home house sitting for my parents while they were on their trip to see my sister and brother-in-law.  She definitely had missed people.  And, I will admit it, I missed her too.  It was good to spend some time with Tuna.

Soooooooooo I had originally wanted to post this poem the other day and it was accidentally deleted.  Therefore, I had to rewrite it from memory.  :-(  Sad day.  Unfortunately, I was not able to come up with the original poem I had written, which makes me not so happy. Fortunately, for some incredibly odd reason, the original appeared in a comment after I posted this one.  Once I post a poem, it shares automatically to google+ and leaves a comment of my own when that happens and I can see it.  So, I'm going to post the original that I had written after this.  Let me know which one you think you prefer.  I'm more partial to the original.  


Out or in?

Would you please open the door?
It's not too much to ask for.
I want out or maybe in.
I'm not sure yet.  I'll choose when
The door is open, then I'll know
Out or in and which way I'll go.
You may not quite grasp my need.
This is important to me
So could you please open the door?
I do not like to be ignored.
