Throughly Poetic Thursday
Cooper Murphy is our poet this week for Teddy and Angel Sammy’s poetry day at Two Spoiled Cats. Not only did he write the poem, but he also took the liberty of slightly altering the inspiration photo. As Cooper Murphy and Teddy are BFFs, he’s hoping he won’t get into too much trouble for doing this.
This is our altered photo followed by Cooper’s poem.
ON THE PROWL
We’ve strolled this market,
and our paws are wet.
Why we came here, we now regret.
We’ve searched high & low for silvervine
Or possibly some tasty, fresh nip.
Whatever, it wasn’t worth the trip.
Tomatoes, potatoes, and spinach,
Zucchini, turnips and chard…
All this searching is too hard.
Plodding along with no umbrella,
We’ve meowed with every vendor,
But none had nip or vine to tender.
I was given a carrot, but I’m not a bunny.
A nice lady offered Sawyer some escarole,
But that sounds like something for a mole.
All this walking has made us quite hungry,
And we believe it must be time for dinner
As we feel ourselves getting physically thinner.
With each step our empty tummies
Are loudly rumbling and growling,
So for today we’ll end our prowling.
If the sun is shining bright tomorrow,
We may come back for more searching,
As of nip and vine we are most deserving!

Thankful Thursday
This is Brian’s weekly blog hop. It gives us the opportunity to share for what we are thankful. Neither Kitties Blue nor I have anything special for which to give thanks. We always are grateful for warmer weather, good friends, good health and a happy family. So that is our share for today.

Cooper Murphy, you really have a talent for poetry. 🙂
Eww…getting your paws wet!
That was great:) My cats wrote about the lack of nip. Silvervine is the best. I hope this comment shows up, my first one did not.
That was great! My cats wrote about the lack of nip at the farmer’s market 🙂 Silvervine is the best. XO
guyz, what an awesum poem 🙂 !! tho sorree ya never finded any vine ~~~~~~
I love the photo edit. Way cool. I love the poem.
Have a purrfect day. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥
Oh, what a fun poem this is, Cooper Murphy and Sawyer! That must be quite an adventure, going to the market. Really, though, why must they make it so hard for kitties to get their fix?
Kitties, it’s raining get under one of the tables, quick!
What a lovely poem! Made me chuckle. But don’t give up, I bet you’ll find some nip or vines next time! 😹
What a fun poem! We sure hope you find the nip or vine next time.
That was a super cool prowling poem Cooper Murphy! Thanks for joining the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Oh my what a SUPER poem you have for today! I think it would be wonderful to wander around one of these markets searching for wonderful bits that fell on the ground or even a stray mousie??? I’d hope for bits of cheese instead of a carrot that’s for sure! Too bad most of these markets don’t have a special booth for kitty shoppers though isn’t it. Thanks for being part of Sammy’s Poem challenge every week. It’s so much fun isn’t it?!
Hugs, Teddy
There needs to be a farmer’s market for kitties.
No vine or nip? What a ripoff!
