Cloud Five
Life on cloud five
Can be mighty dry
Coffee and wine
Day and night
Oatmeal for breakfast
Beer at lunch
Give me pretzels
Munch and crunch
Looking in for a better time
Clutching with tired fingers
What is mine
News at eleven
Again at six
Popping pills
Among the gore and ick
Paying bills
To save paper
Online
Your life on cloud five
Can be like mine
Floof School
Floof School (floofinition) Institution which has been guiding and instructing animals for living with humans for centuries. Although primarily dominated by cats and dogs deciding to become pets, enrollment has spiked, with a huge and diverse student body, as human’s activities encroach on animals’ habitats, forcing the animals to learn how to live with humans.
In use: “There are courses of studies for cats, dogs, and other creatures to become pets, but the Floof School has noticed that many animals are taking other species’ courses, with, for example, a Dachshund enrolled in the cats’ courses, and a Siamese auditing the German Shepherds.”
Flooftap
Flooftap (floofinition) – 1. Gesture used by animal or human to attract the other’s attention.
In use: “Michael used a flooftap on Boo’s back to get the cat’s attention, but was quick — the cat was notorious for whirling and whipping up a disapproving paw, claw extended, without notice.”
In use: “As Michael went about cleaning food bowls prior to replenishing them, Tucker gave his foot a flooftap in passing, like, buddy, can you spare a kibble?”
2. Water faucet where a pet likes to drink.
In use: “Bobbi washed her hands, opened the bathroom door, and was immediately confronted by the Sweeney’s large Golden Retriever, ready to come in to use the flooftap for a drink.”
