Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
On Thursdays, Kitties Blue and I like to have a little fun by writing a poem based on an inspiration photo provided by Two Spoiled Cats (Teddy and Angel Sammy). We’ve been writing poetry with them since they started this challenge several years ago. In the past couple of months I have been altering the original photo by adding one or more of the Kitties Blue. I have enjoyed the added creative options this has provided me and plan to continue along this path whenever possible.
Cooper Murphy, who has joined this week’s photo, and I hope you enjoy today’s poem.
Monkey Versus Cat
When it’s super hot
A cool drink hits the spot.
And a little faucet shower
Helps beat the heat at any hour.
But when your friend hogs all the water,
It can be such a terrible bother.
I only asked for a little taste
And a tiny splash to wash my face.
But my pal refused to budge
Even when I gave him a nudge.
I never knew he had a selfish demeanor
Or could be such a giant weiner.
When I have a banana and he asks for a bite,
I’m going to tell him to take a hike.
If he doesn’t want to share his water now,
I’m not giving him any of my chow.

Thankful Thursday
We are all thankful to have had a couple of days without rain. Kitties Blue have been enjoying the catio, as evidenced by yesterday’s post. I was able to do some yard work and get my annuals in pots, except for the bachelor button (cornflower), which some critter ate. We aren’t too thankful, however, that when the rain went away the hots came. The forecast is that those will be tapering off soon for which I’ll be grateful.
As always, Kitties Blue and I are thankful for your support and friendship.

Love the poem and you know how much I love Cooper Murphy.
I’ll take some of that rain. It’s dry here.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
With a friend that selfish, you’d best find someone else to hang out with, Cooper Murphy!
Although I’d like to see you with a banana…
Great poem, and love the inclusion of Cooper Murphy. We’re also supposed to get thunderstorms and showers for several days which will cool off this suffocating heat.
We love your additions to the photos. Cooper Murphy did a great job with the poem.
We already have the hots and are hoping for some rain this weekend.

Well we just knew you’d squeeze out a perfect poem for the photo and you absolutely did! Love it……..and Coop adds just the right touch!!! Looks like we’ll have some WET here like Mr. Monkey – showers today and tomorrow. Maybe it will cool things off…….
Hugs, Teddy and Mom Pam
We are off to Brian’s hop! Have a great Thursday. GOOD poem.
That is a cute poem!
We were very hot Monday and Tuesday, but it was much pleasanter on Wednesday…hopefully for more days as well.
