Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

 


This week's photo challenge


At Christmas, we have learned, snacks 
are left out for Santa Claus.
Mom caught us taking a sample.
We told her it was our civic duty
to be sure the milk was fresh
and the cookies were sweet.
After all, we don't want Santa's
belly that shake like jelly to
get grumbly and rumbly
he might toss his crumbly cookies
on the rug and we'll be blamed.

V  ery exciting
A  dventures to be had
C  lamping in style
A  mazing food and fun
T  ime to relax and unwind
I   came back to work
O nly to find my clear desk piled high
N ever again will I leave without installing a
S  py high in the sky

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.
