Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
Angel Sammy and Teddy from Two Spoiled Cats provided another hysterical photo for this week’s poetry challenge.
If I was the mom of these two, I wouldn’t even know where to begin to try to clean them up. My poem is a conversation between the little blonde girl and the mom in alternating stanzas. The child is speaking first.
Child’s Play/Mom’s Dismay
Mommy, look I’m an artist!
I’ve decorated my little sis.
I think she looks so beautiful.
Oh no, that ink is unremovable!
What could you have been thinking?
I swear I might start drinking.
What’s wrong, don’t you like my art?
I’m out of ink so I can’t restart!
Do you have another marker I can use?
I’m going to be accused of child abuse
If you don’t go to your room this minute.
I swear you’ve pushed me to my limit!
I don’t understand why you’re mad.
I tried super hard not to be bad.
You told me not to draw on the walls.
So, why didn’t you go play with your dolls
And leave your sister alone to sleep?
I swear I’m going to breakdown and weep!

Thankful Thursday
Kitties Blue and I look forward to sharing our thankfuls with you each week. Gratitude is such an important part of living a happy life.
I am thankful for the opportunity to have gotten outside twice since last week to work on weeding my flower beds. Of course, I have lots more to do, but I have made progress and am enjoying seeing the daffodils, hyacinth, muscari and tulips coming up and blooming. Today, I even saw some hostas starting to put up shoots. And my peony plants are already a foot tall.
Kitties Blue and I are always thankful for your support, comments and friendship.
Thanks for joining us today. We look forward to seeing you again tomorrow.

Mercy but the children can almost put you in the looney bin, can’t they. Mine are the reason I have gray hair, and since I earned it, I wear it.
Your garden sounds lovely.
That was a really terrific poem, you nailed it! Most excellent thankfuls too. Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Your poem is great. Mom needs to do some trimming outside soon.

Perfect poem for that somewhat scary photo Angel Sammy provided this week! The baby looks happy as can be and the little girl is ever so proud of her “work” but Mom is probably having a nervous breakdown at the possibility those are permanent markers! Thanks for having poetic fun with us.
Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
That picture made me shudder, LOL! Your poem is perfect!
We have lots of plants starting to show up here, too, but only the scilla are blooming right now. The snowdrops are done, they came out when we had that warm spell.
fun for all
Ha! Funny poem, funny picture; fun all except who-ever does the clean-up! It is good to see spring starting! Lots of returning birds means lots of Bird TV for the cats!
