Cat is chasing my knitting wool
Wrapped round its paws,
Across the room,
Fast like a famous footballer,
Knocking the ball
Back and forth.
Under the table,
Through the gap in the chairs,
Into a box…
She dribbles
She Scores!
She would beat any goalie!

Want longer lashes?
Oh my balding eyes
I don’t have long lashes,
or thick eyebrows.
But strangely
I don’t want them.
I’m happy with my lot.
Sticking gunk on my face
making my eyebrows arch..?
No, not for me,
it costs too much.
And I would poke myself,
In the eye….
The owl and the pussycat
The owl and the pussycat went to sea
And found they couldn’t swim
They had to call the coastguard out,
The captains name was Jim.
He told them to get in his boat
It was a pretty sight,
An owl, a cat and one old stoat
With souwester and pipe.
Cats
One is excited
Running around,
the other, up
on the cupboard,
paws stretched.
Oh to be a cat,
relax when you want,
sleep, chase.
Rest, sleep again.
Eat, feast, taste, drink,
sleep….
stretch, yawn, play…
adventures in dreams.
Limerick challenge…
I just wrote this at Easter Chiltons blog, where the prompt was to use the word nose on some part of the limerick…
I hope you think this is funny! 😂
Daisies
This summer I hope to see daisies and Vinca
green leaves and yellow flowers.
Aquilegia is fading, Poppy flowering in sun.
The garden changes so fast,
you have to run to keep up…..
climbing roses tower over paths,
Sweet showers of rain swell the fruit………………………………………
Soon it will be autumn again.
Fallen leaves and dead flowers.
Enjoy the sun
While you can.
Before the storm
The sky turned orange
Then maroon.
The sun crept under the curtain of cloud,
Sneaking out and staring through the rain.
Rainbows end in the murk
Towards the other horizon.
Light spills, then disappears.
The thunder thrills through the air,
Bouncing from chimneys and roofs,
Clattering slates,
Boom-rumble-thudding,
Flash, crash, splitting the new dark.
The storm is here.
Kitten
Blurry kitten
Went away
To a new home
Three years ago
To stay
Kittens grown
And feeling loved
But I would have
You back
Today
Half of beer.
Just to sit
at a table,
half of beer,
in my hand,
a quiet river,
flowing by.
A dream of freedom,
no distractions,
quiet and relaxing
time to rest.
No stress no worries,
just a dream,
the world passing
slowly leaving
me behind.
This was I
Where I live,
Who I am,
What I do,
How I think,
Where I work,
My companion,
What I trained as,
My books,
My life,
My I.
My me!
