Hello Kitty!

Icon of cute

Cartoon cat

Kawaii kitten

Like Japanese schoolgirls and

anime heroines

you've been imported

appropriated

embraced

Hell-Oh!

Fetishized Feline!

Your whiskers tickle

everything from

headbands to tennis shoes

panties to bombs

No one would suspect

such a sweet little pussy

to scratch her way to

WORLD DOMINATION

Bad kitty!
