A Cat Prayer

"A Cat Prayer"

Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray this cushy life to keep.
I pray for toys that look like mice,
And sofa cushions, soft and nice.
I pray for gourmet kitty snacks,
And someone nice to scratch my back,
For windowsills all warm and bright,
For shadows to explore at night.
I pray I'll always stay real cool
And keep the secret feline rule
To NEVER tell a human that
The world is really ruled by CATS!

"Cigarettes Under The Carpet"

A carpet installer was laying new living room carpeting in a
large mansion. After laboriously pulling, stretching, and
tacking the carpet, he finally finished, and gratefully sat
back to enjoy a cigarette.

Reaching into his shirt pocket, however, he found that his
cigarettes were gone, and looking toward the center of the
room, he saw a bulge the size of a cigarette pack under the
new carpeting. He of course had no intention of pulling up
the carpet, so instead he took a large mallet, and he
pounded the lump flat, so it could not be seen.

He then hopped in his truck and headed back to the office.
On the way, he found his cigarettes in the glove compartment.

Just then his cellular telephone rang. When he answered
it, he discovered it was the dispatcher from his office. The
dispatcher said that the homeowner had just called them
in a terrible panic.

It seems their son's favorite pet hamster was missing.
Had the carpet layer seen the hamster while he was
in the house?
