Embarrassing Adven in To As I walked through Kichijoji’s streets, I was handed a flyer for a kawaii cat café. I had to go in, the cats were calling, My feet lead me there without delay.
I rolled up my sleeves, A cool cat was eyeing me up as I walked over. He sat on his shelf with a denim jacket on, My hand went for his head, he gave me the cold shoulder. Suddenly, in one quick swoop, his paw flew towards me, I drew away from him, his face full of glee. My face full of shock, his stature was proud, He fixed his denim jacket while watching me flee. I escaped towards a box seat on the ground, I thought I’ll sit here and wait for a cat who is sound. Without knowing it, the box was hollow, My arse went through it like there was no tomorrow. A member of staff looked completely shocked, While all the furry felines pointed and mocked. Jesus, I thought, get me out of here fast, Before I sit on a cat with my big fat ass. I ran for the door with my embarrassed face, Leaving the cat café, I had now defaced.
It was definitely time to relax at the beach. So I went on my way, I hopped on the train to Enoshima Bay. The aquarium was my first destination, I goggled at the giant jellyfish, and crusty crustaceans. I was in the mood for an ice-cream, So I walked onto the promenade with the sea on my left, I was two licks in when I witnessed daylight theft! Large shadows appeared on the pavement below, A creepy claw scraped my hand with one sharp blow. Onto the rocks, the ice-cream splattered, Holding only the cone, I ran for cover, Embarrassed and battered.
