Thoroughly Poetic Thursday
After missing a couple of weeks of writing poetry, I do have a new poem today based on Teddy and Angels Sammy’s inspiration photo. If you follow the blog regularly, you know I have been adding one or more of the Kitties Blue crew to the photos for the past couple of months. I have not so today, as most cats do not enjoy car rides.
Here’s the photo followed by my poem.
The Road Trip
Who knew two old ladies could have so much fun
Taking a road trip in the midday sun?
They’ve brought provisions in case they get hungry
And filled their purses with their mad money
Won playing Bingo at church on Friday nights,
Which they’ll spend when they hit the Las Vegas’ lights!
Anticipation of casinos with slots and roulette wheels
Is starting to give these senior ladies the chills.
It’s their first outing together as single ladies
Planning to have lots of fun, though, in their eighties.
They feel they’re not too old to have a last fling
And hope to see one of the impersonators of “The King.”
As they sing along to oldies on the radio in tandem,
They can’t wait for their weekend filled with wild abandon.

Thankful Thursday
The biggest thankful of the week is that Sawyer has enjoyed another week without a seizure. That is now seven weeks.
Dad Tom and I are thankful that the kittens are doing well. And their housemates seem to be mostly unfazed about having them camped out in the foyer.
As always, Kitties Blue and I are thankful for your friendship, support and following.

That was a really fun poem! Those are wonderful thankfuls, hooray Sawyer and hooray for those kittens. We have a new family member too, we introduced her on the blog today. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Your take on the picture is fantastic. I immediately thought of and aged Thelma and Louise, which doesn’t end well!
We, too, are thankful for 7 seizure-free weeks for Sawyer!
Love the poem and I love your thankful things. Way to go on Sawyer having another seizure free week. Keep up the great work.
Aw on the two new kitties. I’m so happy they found a wonderful forever home.
Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday. Scritches all around, a smooch to Cooper Murphy and Sawyer and a big hug to mom. ♥
Fun poem! Great news about Sawyer.
Girls just wanna have fun!
Good to read that your crew is doing well.
GREAT poem. Wouldn’t you love to be in that convertible and hear everything they say and see all they do?
Such wonderful news about Sawyer, and I love the poem! I am also glad the kittens are doing well.
Great poem and super thankfuls especially Sawyer’s!!!!!!
The Florida Furkids with love and whisker kisses to Sawyer from Noelle
That poem is absolutely PERFECT for this week’s photo. It’s the same feeling we tried to get with our poem today. We just love the FEELING of the photo. We are really happy to learn Sawyer has racked up 7 weeks since the last seizure and hope the trend continues! Glad that the two new additions are being accepted by the rest of the Blue cats. Audrey and Raleigh hit the jackpot when you decided to welcome them into the Blue Crew!!
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
Love the poem and Congratulations to Sawyer, that is great news!!
Your poem is fabulous! I love it!
Hooray for Sawyer not having seizures! And we wonder what will happen when those kittens get to roam??
Good news all around! Another week of no seizures is marvelous! So are the new little cuties! And what fun poetry!
