Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #162

Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

 

Here is our challenge for today


My car was in the shop
My brain said no worries
Take the train it will drop you just a hop
from your work stop.
Eagerly I waited for the train...
I heard it coming but turns out 
Bummer I was at the
the Polar Express stop

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #161

 Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

 

Here is our challenge for today


I once knew a Corgi
His name was Yogi
He was no Porkie

He  ruled the house with a  LOOK
He was no fool
he played it cool
He trained his dad well 
No treats no tricks

He was obsessed with soccer. 
He was a lean mean soccer machine.
As soon as the ball was tossed, he ran and ran
around the yard pushing it with is nose.
A perfect game for a vertically challenged Corgi

Thoroughly poetic Thursday #160

   Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

 

Here is our challenge for today


We planned a day at the beach
Fun in the sun and sand was our plan
We arrived to find  this craziness
What the Heck
we said in unison 
We were in a panic
our plans for a picnic were not to be.
No way we would we 
Unpack our sack for our morning snack.

Here is our challenge for today



Upon the rock she sits helpless
She silently beckons please
While waiting for brisk Spring breeze

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #158

    Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

 

Here is our challenge for today


Their mother called
she needed a break
Could we watch
our wee baby niece of six months our nephew of three 
Being a good auntie and uncle we said of course
Bring them over it will be fun
How hard could it be?
We learned quickly how hard it could be
and wondered how in the world the mom did.
Who knew babies and toddlers had so much stuff.

thoroughly Poetic Thursday #157

    Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  


this photo reminded me of a story about Me

Once there was at 4 year old...
As she grew up, she was told
tales of things she did
that would make your toes curl.
She found her Annie Ma's (maternal grandmother)
scissors. She crept out to the back yard...
evidently to play beauty shop with 
Lady the Collie  and her new puppies.
The story goes when Annie Ma found her
she exclaimed, "what have you done".
I turned to her happily exclaiming!
I cut Lady's hair, her puppies and mine. 
Lady and her puppies did not mind
**************
There were no pictures but my mind's eye expects I was as happy about my
accomplishment as the child was with her art work.
***************
Rest of the story I was only missing a minute or two.  It only takes that long to cause chaos.  I cut the left side of my hair was almost a crew cut.  So many ways this story could have been a nightmare...Evidently I was a wee devil.

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #156

 Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

Here is the photo challenge  

Today I will try to write Dr. Seuss poem for the challenge



Yay for YOU for being YOU
Wearing a tie of blue suits YOU
It is a much cooler than a
Cat in a Hat
Your fingers are like
Thing 1 and Thing 2
What does your mind's eye 
see that makes you Uniquely
 YOU??
