Happy World Poetry Day felinity assembled!
Elvira Mistress of Felinity, here!
So what is this day all about?
"UNESCO first adopted 21 March as World Poetry Day during its 30th General Conference in Paris in 1999, with the aim of supporting linguistic diversity through poetic expression and increasing the opportunity for endangered languages to be heard.
#WorldPoetryDay is the occasion to honour poets, revive oral traditions of poetry recitals, promote the reading, writing, and teaching of poetry....
The United Nations also has a page devoted to the event, with messages, multimedia, and resources.
As they say on their page...
"Poetry reaffirms our common humanity by revealing to us that individuals, everywhere in the world, share the same questions and feelings. Poetry is the mainstay of oral tradition and, over centuries, can communicate the innermost values of diverse cultures."
We here at The Opinionated Pussycat have long shared our poetic talents and those of Daddy Kiril as well.
Our founder, Mr. Nikita, was the first; he encouraged me to develop my poetic skills and I encouraged Sneakers the Texian Tuxedo and Friday the Bearded Lady.
In the sidebar you will find a category link to our poetry and storytelling and we encourage you to explore it, comment on and share what you like.
In honor of this day I have written something that some might consider long overdue....
Our theme song! Hee, hee!
I have dedicated it to the memory of our beloved Mr. Nikita and I hope you enjoy it.
The Opinionated Pussycats Theme Song
By Elvira Mistress of Felinity
With apologies to The Munsters, Bob Mosher and Jack Marshall (Music, vocals & lyrics via You Tube!)
and a tip of the hat to our friend Kender MacGowan.
When you are walking past a home day or night
And you see cats in the window enjoying the view.
But you feel like something just isn’t right,
Then the Opinionated Pussycats are laughing at you.
If you should meet Daddy Kiril and his kitty family
Just forget what all you might have heard or read,
The Opinionated Pussycats will greet you willingly
And if they really like you they’ll let you rub their heads.
To visit their blog you mustn’t be afraid
By reading their posts your day it will be made.
Photos, poems, stories, opinions, and reviews all displayed
By the Opinionated Pussycats, by the Opinionated Pussycats.
If you are tired of sharing LOL cats a lot,
Silly photos, fractured English, in front of your head,
Be bold, step up, and stop posting such rot,
Discover what the Opinionated Pussycats offer instead.
Day or night they discover much to write about,
Finding stuff about which to smile and frown.
There are many things to meow, purr and hiss about,
For sure the Opinionated Pussycats will go to town.
Any time you dare peek through their window screen,
You will be amused and laugh at such an adorable scene.
Because Daddy Kiril treats each cat like a Queen,
Loving his pretty girls, the beautiful Opinionated Pussycats.
Like this? Daddy Kiril has one, too!

Dear Dezi and Raena....
I want to make clear something...
You guys, and others like you, who share their thoughts the way you do, are purrfectly fine by us!
What hisses us off is something that Mr. Nikita first addressed many years ago....
Humans posting cat photos online and putting words in the mouths of said felines that they would not say, or didn't say, in the situation caught on camera.
That is NOT funny.
That is simply wrong.
But that's just our opinion and we know we may be outnumbered, hee, hee!

While we didn't 'zactly know what you were refurrin' to Elvira, we knew you weren't slightin' us, we just wanted to meow dat we do use cat speak.
'Course, we're purretty sure everypawdy knows dat. MOL
And we totally agree, with your stance. We hate what some peeps do to us kitties with those memes and such.
Mommy says, we would never be caught purrmotin' any of those kinds of things, or smokin' and drinkin' and such. We don't know why so many find it funny, but we guess ifin it helps get kitties adopted...
And, like you, nopawdy's askin' our opinions, huh? MOL
Anyways, fanks fur your reply, we didn't think you were talkin' 'bout us.
Big hugs
Luv ya'
