Hmm, I’ve got it, the old standbys, the tried and true, the always popular, “Reflections/Interjections. Yup, that’s the ticket. I hope you enjoy today’s selection. All of them are animal based this time.

Please have a happy and safe Thursday everyone,

Furry and wet,

worry and fret,

are just, a few of the things,

 That you will get,

when, you own a pet,

oh, yeah, and ticks and fleas,

in the spring.

……………………………………………………………………….

Oh where, oh where,

has my little,

dog gone?

*

Oh where,

oh where,

can he be ?

*

 I have no idea,

where your little,

mutt is.

*

 But, on my lawn,

he’s gone,

frequently !

I do not, align myself,

with the elephant,

nor, the donkey,

as a matter of fact,

I prefer to be independent,

to criticize, both of their acts.

……………………………………………………………………

The bird in the hand,

doesn’t do two,

in the bush!

……………………………………………………………………….

Nothing squawks as loudly,

as a crow, upon the fence.

He caws and caws,

for some great cause,

but unto the murder,

soon relents.

Ps. Today is my 32nd wedding anniversary. And if you should see my wife today, congratulate her on her impending nomination for sainthood. Then please recommend a very good, but very inexpensive psychiatrist, so she can have her head examined.
