My voice is raspy,

My throat’s a little sore,

Going back to bed,

Gonna sleep some more.

The ice storm is coming, must get to the store,

To buy toilet paper, pickles and bread!

Fought through the crowds to complete my goal,

Bought beef jerky and Pringles instead.

If there had been an emergency,

I’d have had no warning.

I left to run some errands today,

Without my phone this morning!

Sammy doesn’t mind my poems,

Except for one little thing.

Says I make her look really good,

But wishes I just wouldn’t sing.

01/26/2025

Trying to have a snack,

But Sammy’s gone on full attack.

Want to get my popcorn on,

Sammy’s claws are all drawn.

And the battle’s on,

Burritos, Doritos,

Sammy’s got furry toes.

Tacos and nachos,

Bought at Senor Sanchos.

Pretzels and cheese

Pass the platter please.

What we have to do,

Build a platter, drop some tuna,

And run.

That’s where we have to go,

Away from Sammy’s toes.

Sammy’s slick,

Sneaky is her trick.

I think of everything I have,

And realize I’ve been so lucky,

But the thing that would make my life complete,

Is to have a rubber Psy-ducky.

Winter has finally reached our home,

If Sammy could reach the heat, she’d crank it.

But instead on cold afternoons,

She naps upon my electric blanket.

01/12/2025

Finally made it to bed to sleep,

With my penguin and blankets pulled up to my chin.

About to blissfully drift off to dream,

When those ever-loving fireworks begin!

01/01/2025

Sammy is rather impatient today,

And it’s about to drive me up a tree.

She knows its is not time for kitty treats,

Until I finish and fold all of the laundry.
