A wee-hours vignette

Hard to be creative when my cats co-op my desk
should I just shove them off
or resign to never get anything done
especially when they are in the house?

I cannot take their pitiful looks
their dejected stares
nor the snubbery that will come later
when I am ready to cuddle them

Right now they stand as sentinels
one on either side of my laptop
glaring at me with an “I dare you!”

The cat on the left is Mr. Smokes McAvoy and on the right is Mr. Shugs McGroo.
