Message to the World

Frannee, Squeeks, and Frankee!
I'm napping on the couch
I started all alone
and then my little cat
to the couch did roam
 
he curled up beside me
purring all the while
til Frankee saw him there
and jumped into the pile 
 
and so...
 
 into the afternoon
we lay napping - three
cuddled in a bundle 
catching up on zee's
 
and if....
 
 all the people,
in all the world
could nap just like we do
 
perhaps there'd be
an end to war
and some rested North Americans too!

Baby Pigeons

 
Pretty baby birds
so soft and fluffy too!
hatched upon my balcony
cause what was I to do?

I couldn't pitch them overboard
though all my friends did swear
that if I left the eggs to hatch
I'd always have them there

But no I couldn't do it
my little heart did break
at the thought of all that mess
the two eggs they would make

and so I let them stay
to hatch and then to fly
those pretty baby birds
have long since said good-bye!

Squeeks Sleeps



Deep in meditation
lying in his bed
I wonder what is happening
inside that little head....

a pigeon on the balcony
a mouse goes skidding by
a doggie in the hallway
                               a big fat fuzzy fly! (try to say that 5 times!)

a tin of white flake tuna
some catnip - fresh and green
the cape that batman wears
oh yes, my Squeeks doth dream!!

Dante Dunks Frankee!

This mismatched pair of pooches enjoy a romp in the rough!
 
Rolling around
on the frosty ground
Dante the Sheppard
 holds Frankee down!

and though he is fierce
five pounds of pure fire
Frankee's no match
for Dante's poundage is higher!
(by about ten times!... Whaaat?!)

A Shaggy Affair


Zeus was born with his hairdo!
However, the woman accompanying him cannot claim the same misfortune.
In fact, she has chosen to wear this hat! and the coat!
When asked why she wore it, Madame gave this reporter a blank look and wheeled Zeus away.

Ode to Dooley

Dooley, oh my Dooley!
with little legs that wobble
snuggles up to Michelle
just to have a cuddle

tail like a puff puff
ears so silky soft
furry face so blissful
and when you're swept aloft

kisses you'll be getting
and kisses you will give
wrapped in arms so loving
that's how a dog should live

Stumpy Pigeon




Stumpy, looking for food!
STUMPY PIGEON
Stumpy Pigeon lacking feet
Tell me now, how do you sleep
For you can’t roost on perch of tree
No feet have you, nor talons (three)
So do you lie against a wall
Throughout the night, do you fall
Or wedge, do you, between two stone
While your friends perch, you sleep alone
Oh Stumpy Pigeon, I cry my friend
For on two feet, you can nay depend
                         Yoga Cat
