Baby boy grasping
With tiny fingers fiercely
Hope springs eternal

I love going to the museum on Saturdays, don’t you?

(since it’s been rather solemn around here lately, I thought I’d take a break from the fiction and offer a laugh. This was sent to me by a friend in an email. I am not the author but I’d sure like to meet them and thank them for the chuckles.  sarah)

I put you in
a suit of Elf
and asked you not
to be yourself
No wag, no bark, no jump or drool
for just the season of the yule

So many pictures
I did take
and promised you
both shrimp & steak

You stood there mute
so mad at me
that I was worried
you would pee
and make a mess
for me to clean
while gloating like
some beauty queen.

No matter how
I begged or teased
you gave no damn
if I was pleased.

When at last
I was done
I let you loose
to have some fun
you took your chewie
jumped on the bed
made a face
and rolled back your head

But that’s okay
cuz you’ll forget
about the suit
and the hat.

And next Christmas
when you’re not looking
a new yule suit
I’ll be hooking
about your belly
so big & fat
and you’ll be wishing
you were the cat.
