Poetry Thursday

 Two spoiled cats have given us another picture for the Poetry Thursday Blog Hop

Come on down, come on down, come on down

Everything’ marked down savings galore

Step right up and you can be the owner of the car of your dreams

Fastest, safest, cheapest around

One thousand down, just one thousand down

Free service plan after the sale

How about white walls? We got mag wheels

How about a free air freshener?

How about pink for the little lady

How about a visor mirror for the little lady

Got to keep happy the little lady

Help you speed away from the little lady

This car will get you a new lady

We got a year-end clearance, we got tax free

We got zero financing, you can drive it away today

Act now, act now, and get a special prize

The kids will  love it, one size fits all

No add ons, no hidden fees

Everything must go

Going out of business, we’re going out of business, dad has cancer

Fifty percent off, fifty percent off

It will get you off

Off to see the Wizard

How do we do it? How do we do it?

We make our cars in Venezuela 

Cheap labor, cheap wheels, the tail pipe is made from cigar wrappers

We don’t pay, no one pays, no one gets paid

Cars are made by deported migrants from East St Louis

Come on in, come on in

Have a free donut and coffee

I will last forever, run for ever never needs an oil change

You’ll be the talk of parents picking their kids up from school

The fathers will think you are cool

The sons will think you rule

The daughters will slide down the bannisters thinking of you

It will find the cat who ran off three years ago

It will walk your dogs

It will babysit your kids

If floats if you want to ride in a boat

And in the end the door comes off and becomes your co ffin

So come on down, come on down

It has a DVD player to keep the brats quiet

It has wifi to keep you connected

There is a Facebook group for owners

So come on down

It runs on electricity

It runs on gas

It runs on the sun

It runs on the moon, it runs on the moon, what a wonderful night for a moon dance

It has a built in vacuum

It has a built in blower

It both sucks and blows wherever you go

Tired of being just an ordinary joe

Waiting for something to change your life

You want to feel like Iron Man, Batman, for once in your life a man

It will do it all Jack, it has it all

It comes preloaded with ITunes

With Amazon Music

With Spotify with the latest higi

Push a button and it fly

And if someone steals your car

They won’t get very far

It comes with an inflatable companion

For travelling in the high occupancy lane

And if you want a little hanky panky

When you’re stuck in a traffic jam

It comes with a periscope

Because Kramer thinks its cool

And converts to a rickshaw

If Newman requests a ride

It never needs gas, never needs oil, never needed washing

Never needs waxing, never needs wiper replacements

Never needs defrosting

C'mon c'mon c'mon c'mon

It's very effective, nothing is defective

It never needs disinfection

It gives you an erection, it will win you an election

It comes with free parking at DIsney World

But not Disney Land, that’s on hold

You will win the lottery

It will pick up Demi Moore to make pottery

How do we do it? How do we do it?

How do we do it? How do we do it?

The floor is made of straw

The backseat homes a macaw

We need your business

We will give you the business

We’re going out of business

We employ children from Siam

Even though there is no Siam

Buy before midnight tomorrow, taxes won’t apply

Come on down, come on down, come on down

No need to win read the fine print

Just get in a drive

Come on down, come on down, come on down

Aunt Ruby's Pee Mail Advice

 

My sister Foley, and later our friend from Colorado, Uncle Enzo, both, before they went to the Bridge, ran popular blogs, where they took questions from other dogs, via email, and answered them, under the moniker Aunt Foley, and Uncle Enzo.

Recently, Foley came to me, asking if I wanted to revive the franchise.

Frankly, it sounded like a lot of work, and would cut into my nap time, so I declined.

But, the blog found me.

During a recent walk I found a pee plea for help mail.

It read like this: “I, for the last five years, have lived a blissful life, with just my Mom, here at a retirement community, where there are no bothersome kids except for her grandchildren who don’t stay for long.

“Or so I thought. They have moved in with us for two weeks because their mom went on a cruise. You know who suffers when people go on cruises? The dog.

The kids play with my toys, they spill my water, the ride me, they tail pull, they fake throw the ball, they throw my treats so far I can’t them, and they dress me up. Also, they climb all over my Mom, and I have to sit on a chair alone. Sometimes I growl at them, just as a warning, and Mommy gets mad at me. What am I to do?”

I advised him to give it time. Kids have a way of growing on dogs.

The next day his pee mail message was filled with more complaints, except he said he liked it when the children gave him hugs and rubbed his fur.

I thought that his mood was changing and advised him to give it another few days and then he could eat them if they had not improved,

I was happy to read the next day that he had decided not to eat the children because he found them fun to chase around the yard.

The next few days the pee spot was dry, but on the third there was a long message, that. He was sad, because the children went home, and he missed them. 

I told him they will be back, and to enjoy his mom time while he could. I would have written more but I didn’t drink a lot that morning.

The next day I squirted out that this spot under the tree was for those who needed emotional pee support.

So if you need help stop by and pee.

Aunt Ruby is on duty

Nature Friday

 We join the fabulous LLB Gang   in celebrating Nature Friday

This is a bag of flowers. 

Impatientts to be precise.

Until this spring I did not know flowers came in bags.

Maybe they were started by underworld florists illegally growing flowers and hiding them in a plastic bag like the hobos hide their whiskey.

We bought the bag of flowers at the beginning of the month. We hung them from a tree in between Foley’s garden, Pocket’s garden. And the shed.

For a week they stayed in bloom, but soon began to wilt and drop. My parents decided it did not have enough sun and put it on a hook in River’s All Day Sun Garden.

As you can deduce by the name, River's garden gets a lot of sun, which causes the flowers to wilt again. 

As a last ditch attempt to the same they were hung from a trellis supporting the roof over the steps.

Then came the heat which felt like I was trapped in a sock with two amorous squirrels.

The flowers in the bag shriveled up from the heat.

The bag would have been in the trash if anyone wanted to leave the air conditioned house.

Then the heat broke, and the showers came, and the bag of flowers were blooming again.

Seeing the bag die and come back repeatedly, I have changed, under the Gulf of America rename charter, the name of the flowers from a bag of Impatiens to the Lazarus Bag, because they keep rising.

Poetry Thursday

 +++++

“I think there is food on the counter.”

Said Fred the Dog to a cat named Pouncer

Fred saud “Jump up there and see if its true.”

Pounce answered “why don’t you.”

Fred admitted he could not counter surf

Pounce said: “that is no reflection of your self worth.

I can not jump up there because I pulled my hamstring

The vet said it should be in a sling

“Perhaps I could reach if I stood on your head,”

“I would say yes but I have a sensitive scalp,” said Fred

“What if I stood on your butt?” Pounce asked.

“As long as the medication cleaned up your anal rash.”

Fred reported the medication had worked

And while he didn’t like the idea he didn’t want to be a jerk

Fred said he would be happy to lift the cat with his backside

And to provide Pounce a calm and safe ride

Pounce was able to put his paws on the top

And see bits of food his mom did chop

Fred asked “Is there cake, is there pie?”

“No” the brazen cat did lie.

Pounce quietly licked up the rest overs

And even some mysterious powder

Pounce said he wanted to get down

And when Fred saw no food he did frown.

Pounce was sorry he had to lie

But Pounce needed no help to the counters he could fly

But he did not want to share the counter food he did desire

And did not want Fred to know all cats are liars.
