Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

It’s Thursday, so that means it is time for a bit of poetry. Angel Sammy and Teddy (Two Spoiled Cats) have provided another fun inspiration photo.

 

Trick-or-Treat

(With apologies to our woofie friends and followers.)

The woofies next door are pretty dumb.
They thought I wouldn’t recognize them.
As costumes, those table clothes do not work.
They must believe I’m a real jerk,
thinking I could mistake them for ghosts,
and trick me into giving them treats.
I could smell their doggie breath the moment
they drew near. And I have no dog treats here.
So go back home you mangy mutts.
This cat ain’t no stupid putz!

Each week Angel Sammy transmits his poem from the Rainbow Bridge to Teddy for publication. Sammy is an exceptionally talented poet, and we always recommend you read his poem. Please stop over to Two Spoiled Cats by clicking on the poetry badge, to check out Sammy’s poem and get the photo for next week’s challenge.

Thankful Thursday

Thursday is also the day each week when Kitties Blue and I share the things for which we are thankful. Then we pop over to Brian’s Home and link up with the blog hop hosted by Angel Brian. You can do the same by clicking on the Thankful badge.

I have a pretty significant thankful this week. On Saturday night, I found out I received the Muse Medallion from the Cat Writers’ Association for The Best Entertainment Blog/Website. You may recall that I received Certificates of Excellence from the CWA in this category both last year and this year.

Unfortunately, the live awards program was not viewable. And it was not recorded. I was able to get copies of the slides which were part of the program.

I also was one of two individuals through the door of Teaser school when the bell rang on Tuesday over at Two Spoiled Cats. Here’s the badge I received.

And, once again, I was the First Right Guesser of the Teaser. Here’s my special badge for achieving both “firsts.”

For the past 40 years, Dad Tom and I have lived in a very old house. It is now 112. When a home gets the old, something always needs to be repaired or replaced. We have had several ceilings replaced, and it was time for the living room. I’m delighted to have the work being done now, but, of course, Kitties Blue are all out of sorts. I am so thankful this will be completed prior to the holidays.

It’s now been three weeks since my knee replacement surgery. I am thankful I’m driving again and improving daily, but I still have four more weeks of physical therapy.

Periwinkle & Stinky want to thank those of you who visited and commented on their most recent Adventure.

Kitties Blue and I have been erratic with posting lately, so we truly appreciate those of you who have visited and commented on our posts.

Thanks for joining us today as well.
