Snobbin: Beautiful Trash in the Pop Culture Gutter

  I've been watching Heisei era Godzilla movies this week. I've discovered some similarities between my cat and Godzilla.  1. They enjoy attacking Tokyo. 2. They have similar shining, evil eyes. 3. Atomic breath. 4. They toy with their victims. 5. They occasionally defend others against more focused threats.

Otis the cat should survey the trees and birds, But he'd rather annoy me. Since the sentinel spruce and maples do not heed him, He licks the window in small circles. Nearby chickadees care little For these feline demonstrations. The cold weather snaps us to attention, And the snow falls silently while we watch From inside a creaky house, hoping for touches of lenient spring amidst the wintery chills.
