- I was lonely and cold on a wet autumn day
- I had no cats and no dogs and my roommate's away
- I played a few games on my laptop PC
- But today it just seemed they were all too easy
- When a message popped up on my discord I jumped
- It was an old friend who was feeling quite pumped
- "You're sad and must find a new girlfriend"
- he said, "someone to love and someone to depend"
- I asked how he knew this, he replied with emojis:
- "Stardew Valley on Steam" and I uttered "oh jeez"
- Twelve hours I'd played in the last day alone
- I had a problem, I knew it, I began to groan
- "Okay I admit it, I play it all day
- What would you have me do? Please tell me I pray!
- Do you know a nice girl, one who is revered?"
- "Even better," he said, "Date a girl who is weird"
- I paused for a moment, "A girl who is what?"
- "A girl who is weird," I replied with a "but,
- a girl who is odd might not be one for me
- I'm mundane," I complained, "would a weird girl date me?"
- My friend on discord typed for quite a long time
- then undid it all and linked me with a chime
- "Just try this site out, you know it can't hurt
- But do it just once, you useless introvert"
- I began to shudder, and shudder I did
- then I thought for a while and a smile did slid
- "Sure, I can go try it," I said with defiance
- In spite of my shyness, I gave my compliance
- I made an account and I wrote down my age
- A girl who is normal seeks a girl who is strange
- I took a nice selfie that showed lots of skin
- then erased it and took a new one with chagrin
- My profile was ready, I could do no more
- So I lay on my mattress that sat on the floor
- I slipped into dreams that were odd and erratic
- "Will noone swipe right?" I surmised with a panic
- In the morning it seemed like my fears were unfound
- When I turned on my PC it made a sweet sound
- A suitor responded, I was notified
- So I sat myself down, had our date ratified
- The next day I went to the park in a dress
- One my roommate chose for me with lengthy duress
- I sat on a bench, and I sat, sat some more
- "I was stood up!" I had cried, my dating life is no more
- Then walking towards me was one truly strange girl
- She had thick hair and long claws, a fanged smile did unfurl
- Aside from a hat she did not wear a lot
- Since very soft fur covered every last spot!
- The hat, I should mention, I had not a clue
- Not a bowler, or cap, to me it was new
- It was tall and was striped, like a gaudy top hat
- But it clearly appealed to this weird girl-cat
- I stood and I stammered, I blushed quite a bit
- I gave her my name, inside I threw a fit
- She chuckled and laughed, gave my hand quite the shake
- "Sorry I'm late, please don't mind my mistake"
- We stood there a while unsure of what to say
- Not me nor not her in this park on this day
- And in our silence we did find a kinship
- And we smiled at this newfound relationship
- "I got us some tickets to see a movie,
- You said you liked horror, I found one to see,
- The movie is late, so lets see to your tummy
- I know a good place where the food is quite yummy!"
- It was then that my fear did begin to return
- Would her idea of dinner make my stomach churn?
- I took a deep breath and remembered the show
- A very kind gesture, it had me aglow
- "I trust in your judgement," I said with a smile
- "Let's walk over," she said, "it's hardly a mile!"
- The rain did not pour but the ground still was wet
- But I found this refreshing so I did not fret
- We chatted and walked and I felt quite so humble
- For when we arrived oh my stomach did grumble!
- She smiled at me, and hers did just the same
- The walk made us famished, and that was her aim!
- The menu was strange, it was just as I feared
- But my date did not mind that the menu was weird
- The food was so odd, would I have to scram?
- Then my date spoke up "Try the green eggs and ham!"
- I tried some, I liked it, why did I complain?
- I'd eat it with a mouse, in the dark, or a train!
- My date beamed so brightly, I grinned just a tad
- "I'm happy you like it, I am oh so glad!"
- We talked and we ate, my date truly was funny
- Then I started to wonder where she got her money
- Might a girl quite so strange have a job just as much?
- An ape-wrassler, bedazzler, weed whacker, or such?
- So I asked and she answered which filled me with shock
- "An accountant," she said, "I buy and sell stock"
- A less fitting job? Well I doubt there was one
- "I babysit too, less for cash, more for fun."
- I began to consider I may have misjudged her
- For all of her strangeness, much brought us together
- I've been far too rude to this be-hatted cat
- She's too nice to me, truly could I match that?
- She asked what I did, and my focus was back
- "I make games for a living, I have quite a knack!
- Coding, and writing, and art, I adore!
- There's not one part about me I am proud of more!"
- Her eyes were like stars, she put down her fish crepe
- "That's amazing!" she said, with her mouth quite agape
- "I do so love games," she said with a big smile,
- "We surely could play one, we could for a while!"
- "I know a few games that are really quite fun,
- But to not make a mess we should only play one,
- If we got kicked out I surely would cry
- So instead we can just try Two Truths And A Lie"
- With a bite of her fish crepe that was blue and red
- I gave her an answer, "that sounds fun!" So she said,
- "In the bath I eat cake, and this meal is quite yummy
- and inside my hat there's a small copy of me"
- "It's the last one," I said, but I'm wrong, she did claim
- "My crepe is overdone, it is truly a shame"
- "So the last one is true, oh show me!" I pled
- She lifted her hat: a small cat on her head!
- The small cat had a hat, so I started to frown
- "So what about her... cats all the way down?"
- She shook her finger, "They go from A to Z
- A cat any smaller you really can't see!"
- It now was my turn to give two truths and a lie
- "If I had but one wish, oh I'd wish I could fly.
- When I'm lonely I game for 12 hours a day
- And last year I did have my first kiss that was gay,"
- "Surely 12 hours is much, much, too much,
- I can't game that long, even when lonely as such!"
- I grimaced, in shame I lied a second time
- "You're right, gaming that long is surely a crime!"
- We paid for our meal, and it was a delight
- In spite of the crepe, my date did tip alright
- The theater was near, with a walk oh so brief
- We were stuffed to the point that it was a relief!
- The movie began with a thunder and lightning
- For me it was normal; for her it was frightening!
- I smiled a little, I stifled a laugh
- but then she shrank down to a foot and a half!
- She said, "oh please do not worry, I'm not seven feet tall
- Cats don't like loud noises, no we don't at all!
- Some shudder, some shake, but sadly I shrink,
- I know it is weird, that must be what you think"
- But I knew she was weird, it's now something I like
- If I wanted mundane I'd have taken a hike!
- I put my hand on her shoulder, to offer support
- And soon she felt good about being so short
- As the movie went on she did grow quite a lot
- The thunder had scared her but the monster did not!
- My arm stayed around her the whole movie date
- By the end she returned to her seven foot eight!
- The sunlight rose up with the monster deceased
- The survivors found hope after felling the beast
- And we too had hope we each found a new friend
- And a romance will kindle that will never end
- But now it was late, and the date must now cease
- Though I needed something so I could find piece
- I stood way straight up on the tips of my toes
- And she held me up high, in the air I did rose
- My lips planted on hers and it felt oh-so right
- Like rhyme, symbols, and beat can set poems alight
- In Iambic manner words fall into place
- And in similar cadence my heart it did race!
- I stood high in the air as height I did gain
- Was the ground far below? Was I going insane?
- "One wish," she had smiled, "it's one I can grant!"
- "I can do much with this hat, there's not much that I can't!"
- It is true, as I saw, the hat was held aloft
- By Little Cat A, with a sound oh so soft
- She ran a small engine with just a small flame
- "A hat air balloon!" I had said with exclaim!
- We both held on tight as we flew through the night
- "I told a lie before," I said in our flight.
- "The gaming is real, I do it a lot,
- The kiss was the lie, before now I had not!"
- The cat gave me a smile and her clone gave the same
- "It was my first kiss too, well, at least with a dame"
- We landed at my door, and she bid me adieu
- "But before you go home I must give something to you,"
- "My brother has friends who made this just for fun,
- A hat just like mine, from Thing Two and Thing One,
- They used magical wool from the Truffula tree
- And in it you'll find all you could ever need"
- I understood now I need not be alone
- I knew I would love my new hat's little clone
- So I learned, while my date, for as much as I loved her
- I now know my self-esteem's oh so much smaller
- But if love could come to me in one single day
- Maybe loving myself could come much the same way
- What made her so strange I now found so endearing
- From her hat to her fur and her thunderstorm fearing
- I found something in her, she saw something in me
- My creative mind, or kind heart, it could be...
- There must be a part of me she needed a lot
- Will it matter if I know or if I do not?
- I slept with a smile, I was out like a light
- My dreams were so pleasant, I slept through the night
- The very next day I had messaged my friend
- I told him, "It went well, I need not pretend"
- "But now it is your turn, you're alone are you not?
- To the passion you had I gave quite a fair thought!
- The girl I am dating is truly bizarre
- But she spoke of a friend who lives rather quite far"
- "He lives up in the mountains, near you, in a cave,
- He's quite lonely too, and it truly is grave!
- His heart's grown a few sizes, and could even more
- If you'd visit him soon, like tomorrow at four?"
