Well, since I’m the male of our 4-legged pack, I said I would investigate the house in this picture and write the poem. If you look closely, you’ll see that’s not a tree behind the house, it’s a monster. When I realized this, I high-tailed it out of there as fast as my legs could carry me! But I’ve still got a poem for you.
The Scary Goon Behind the Castle by Riley
Wednesday, are you going home to your scary castle?
Morticia’s there with Dad Gomez and Lurch, your trusted vassal.
But who’s that goon in your backyard, with him I wouldn’t wrassle!
I’m outa here, I’m headin’ home, to my less scary passel.
That experience has made me thankful there’s nothing scarier than the vacula in our house. And lately I’ve been taking it on when Mom Amy starts pushing it around the floor. Oh yeah, I’ve attacked it once or twice. Mom Amy just laughs and tells me to go somewhere it isn’t.
Mom Amy: I’m thankful our Riley, at the ripe old age of 13, is still with us, going on walks, attacking the vacuum, and even occasionally playing with Chia. I’m also thankful the insurance company is paying for the new roof we got this week. It seems every time the wind blew another piece of our old roof flew off onto the ground.
And we’re all thankful to Angel Sammy for the picture this week and for Brian’s Home Blog for Thankful Thursday.

That’s a great poem, Riley. We’re with you and don’t think we would want to go inside that scary looking house.

Lulu: “Sure go for it. Meanwhile since Riley is still into playing, he and I will do a little wrestling, what do you say?”

Ya done good Riley! I wouldn’t go up to that spooky house either. Hooray for a new roof “on the house” so to speak. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

so happy for you that insurance paid! our roof broke our bank into small pieces. Good Job Riley! Beau gets up and moves but he really hates the vac. I thought maybe Chia had escaped again and was in the back yard to that scary house. that would be scary, right?

Riley that’s a fabulous Hallowscream poem! Well done….but it must have been pretty scary at your house anyway with your roof falling apart. I know that it’s noisy when they work on the roof so I’m sure you and your siblings are happy it’s FIXED! Thanks for sending in a PERFECT poem for today’s Poetry fun with Angel Sammy.
Huggies, Teddy
