This world is harsh and unforgiving,

Reach out a hand to help and it is bitten.

One of my better ways to deal with life,

Is to snuggle with my kitten.

Sammy in the tree, presents are purchased,

Good Lord, I have never been broker.

Now I have to watch Uncle Blogsy,

‘Cause he’s a serial Christmas present poker…

Thanksgiving dinner was served at six,

Sammy moved in with the speed of a cheetah.

Alas, poor kitten, your meal was bird-less.

For we served pepperoni pizza!

You are a guest in my grandest castle,

With paintings, statues, golden fixtures.

And yet you break my single rule,

I thought I said, “No Pictures!”

10/21/2016

Dark as my soul, the night time falls,

Silent, serene, absolutely no noise.

That is, until after the clock strikes twelve,

When I’ve stepped on one of Sammy’s cat toys.

Celebrity fame can rise and fall,

I’ll explain if you permit.

Sammy’s very favorite cat toys,

Are Yoda, Chewbacca and Kermit.

Having the most magnificent dream,

That I will never remember, I suppose.

Just when the Universe was about to explain,

Sammy bit down on my toes.

Here’s my little kitten,

For everyone to see.

The picture is slightly fuzzy,

That’s OK, so is she…

08/19/2016

The enemy fire is falling hot and thick,

Around the battlefield, she is zooming.

But then right in the middle of things,

Sammy stops for a bit of grooming.

7/29/2016

Occasionally, I hear the sound.

But mostly without warning,

Sammy wants my total attention

At three o’clock in the morning.
