Good kitty mantra

My cat has terrible dental problems and she hates it when I come after her nightly with a cat toothbrush. That's when I say the:

Mantra for Brushing Aloe's Teeth

Good girl good
girl she's
such a good girl isn't
she a good girl?
Good girl




(I of course had in mind the famous William Carlos Williams poem:)

To a Poor Old Woman

munching a plum on
the street a paper bag
of them in her hand

They taste good to her
They taste good
to her. They taste
good to her

You can see it by
the way she gives herself
to the one half
sucked out in her hand

Comforted
a solace of ripe plums
seeming to fill the air
They taste good to her

Excellent. You can recall this poem when you're soaking Aloe's dentures in the future ;+>
