Lucy’s Thankful Thursday Poem

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

First, thanks to Angel Brian for hosting Thankful Thursday as well as Angel Sammy for the fun pictures every week. 

Hi Folks! Lucy here. Many of you good people, dogs, cats and other species already know that Achilles is my boyfriend and he lives on the other side of Nashville with a pig. Actually, with two pigs now. I think my honey must be a brave saint to do that. But then, what other choice does he have? I offered him a home here with me, but he said he’d end up killing Riley and Riley said he’d end up killing Achilles. So he stays there with the pigs. *sigh*

Anyhoo, I thought it might be fun to ask him to help me with today’s crazy picture. Here goes…

Suzie by Lucy

Uncle Bill has a friend whose pet loves to dine;
A hog or a boar or a really big swine.
They came to visit. I screamed, “Achilles, help me!”
“Our best course of action, Lucy, is to flee!”

We ran to the door but the door wasn’t open;
We ran to the kitchen and hid in the oven.
The pig said, “I’m hungry Dad, cook me a dog.”
We ran out the door and into the thick fog.

We ran for our lives yelling “Go away you big clout!”
“But I just want to play,” she replied with a pout.
“You said you would eat us,” we said with a frown.”
“I was just kidding; at heart I’m a big clown!”

We turned back and played with that extra-sized hog.
We dodged and jumped over her like she was a log.
She giggled and ran at us til she heard her phone…
Her Dad said, “That’s all, Suzie, it’s time to go home!”

I sure hope you liked my poem this week. I’m thankful that I don’t have to live with pigs, although I’m pretty sure we would be friends. At least I would try to be friends.

Chia: I’m thankful it stopped raining and I have sun puddles instead of rain puddles to lay in!

Lucy: I’m also very thankful the pastor said I can come back to the church today. (He loves me.) I promise to be a good girl and only do my busyness outside! Is it time to go yet, Mom?

Mom: Yep, we need to wrap up our thankfuls for another week and get to work!

  19. Lulu: “I like big hogs and I cannot lie!”
    Chaplin: “Have fun at church, Lucy! The monk who used to run the Mission near us loved our brother Tucker who we never met, and he loved Dennis too, even though Dennis stuck a cold nose under his robes that one time!”

  26. HAHAHA! Brilliantly written poem my friends…..you absolutely made my Mom giggle and so much that she had to take a bathroom break (whatever THAT means!). Anyway, we’ve never known anyone who really HAD a big pig – but I’m fairly sure that I wouldn’t want to meet it anyway!

    Hugs, Teddy
