Watching My Kids Grow Up Is As Comfortable As Having A Rock In My Shoe

There once was a boy who was spunky,

He often said, "I'm Mommy's monkey"

"Grounded forever" I said.

A dull life he would dread.

But he went on and grew up instead.

Actually, he IS still spunky. He's also still my monkey. And I haven't stopped making the same old threats...."I'm going to ground you forever if you don't quit growing up".

Unfortunately, to no avail.

She's Got CATtitude

Mirror, mirror on the wall

Whose the most ornery cat of all?


She has grey fur, green eyes captivating

Be on your toes, wicked presence awaiting.


No love does she want, independance is better,

By herself, she loves best, obscurement she'd rather.


I love her, I do, she's my favorite cat,

I hold her and squeeeeeeze her, my playful attack.

She swats and she hisses

No sweet kitty kisses

She's sassy and moody

Aloof, dark and broody.

But when least expected, we're blessed with her presence

Her hiding place voided, she makes an appearance.


She finds me and loves me, so sweet and so cuddly

My Phoebe, my darling, my best napping buddy.
