This week's photo challenge


The Thanksgiving Table is set
Fine China and crystal sparkling
Silverware polished to perfection.
It is time for the guest of honor to
 take its place
BUTT not before I make its acquaintance
by putting my face in an obvious 

PLACE

The life of a Squirrel

In the fall when the wind blows,
and the cold chills my toes
I scurry and hurry collecting nuts
hiding them
from 
This rough and tough 
buffed up bully rodent.
Ned the Nutcracker
He has toned biceps
and a bad attitude.
As luck would have it,
he is too buff 
to find where 
I hide my stuff.

PAUSE
The pups were play fighting
having a jolly time.
All of a sudden Georgie raised his paw
that brought the fun to a 
PAUSE.
I have a question Barnie.
Barnie said make it quick 
or I'll go play with a stick.
Georgie said to Barnie did you 
'knows' your toes smell like 
Fri-TOES.**  

*****************
As many of you know, our first family pet Toto the mighty mini
Dachshund.  I don't know why (and maybe I don't want to know)
but Toto's paws always smelled like Fritos to me.  I didn't go around sniffin' them but he was often putting them in my face just like the photo.

New adventures are fun!
Many I'm willing to try.
When out and about in the sun,
I will take a path less traveled.
When out and about at a new restaurant,
I am willing to try new dishes
with pleasing aromas and
mysterious names.
HOWEVER I DRAW LINE!
When it becomes apparent, I must
have legs of a mountain goat
and nerves of steel
I'd rather be on a boat
watching that crazy bloke.

Poetry challenge 10/30/25

By Cecilia

Sheriff Royster  D.  Rooster
Was on patrol in the barnyard,
When, with his beady eyes, he spied,
Up on the hill,
A greedy kid with chubby thighs
running from the hen house.

Original Photo


Revised to go with the ending of my Poem

Sheriff Rooster crowed out loud
Stop, Hands up to the clouds.
The kid did EGGactly as he was told.
Folks eggs splatter and yokes rolled
Sheriff Rooster clucked and crowed out loud to the chickens
I'm coming
DO NOT CROSS THE ROAD.

Below is our photo challenge for this week  


Using Symmetry as my guide, I wrote things that came to my mind when I saw this photo.

Scrambled mess
You have got to be kidding me
Mass confusion
May the force with you
Energy nightmare
Terror in the streets
Run if you see a spark
You are own your own
