Cat Box

March 17, 2011
By Anonymous

So, I din't clean the cat box....
Its not like I forgot,
I just didn't do it.

I know you told me to do it,
At 6:30 a.m. this morning,
But things came up,
And before I know it, it
Was 9.

I saw it sitting there
On my way out the door.....
Sorry.

We were writing poems in class called Sticky Note Poems. They have to be short enough to fit on a sticky note, and I still felt a bit bad about not cleaning the cat box that morning, so it just came out, in the form of a poem.
