Darkness eclipses the promise of life,

And I am frozen in place, come what may.

The proposition is a losing one.

And my desire to live, slips quietly away.

Sammy is a fearsome warrior,

Leaps more quickly than you can take a breath.

Her coloring lets her hide in the shadows,

With her furry mandibles of death.

Impossible! Ridiculous! Can’t be done!

You are not even a manly man!

I smile and listen to my inner voice,

Which says,”I bet I can!”

It was supposed to be a romantic holiday,

Full of love, intimacy and pie a la mode.

Instead, I made her walk the plank,

Yarr, I be stuck in pirate mode!

There was going to be a poem,

Full of style and wit and grace.

However I was keyboard-blocked,

By this kitten’s sleepy face!

Ain’t got no groundhogs hanging round,

Heard no comedians as good as Fozzie,

What keeps me going on this rainy Friday?

Cranking Iron Man. Hooray for Ozzy!

The winter wind screams through the trees,

While the icy rain comes pelting down.

Sammy is fast asleep with bed and blanket,

I’m in the car, driving to work downtown…

I’ve never been around the world,

Haven’t seen Spain, Belize or Morocco.

However I do live in the City of Angels,

Where I can always find an excellent taco!

Sammy and Daddy,

Lying on the bed

They’d be eating a sandwich,

But they haven’t any bread.

Black cat walked under a ladder,

And over a broken mirror.

Just because it’s Friday the 13th,

Could your fear get any sheerer?
