Lucy’s Poetic Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Lucy: Hi, friends. *smiles* It’s that special day of the week when we have fun, thanks to Angel Brian who is hosting Thankful Thursday as well as Angel Sammy for the fun pictures every week.

Here is the picture from Angel Sammy, followed by my poem.

The Cost of Living by Lucy
The cost of living had gotten so high
The chipmunks and squirrels were starting to die
From lack of a home with a fridge and all such
Stuff that you need. Is that asking too much?

They found new apartments that had slowly been built.
There was great stuff in them, and in one e’en a quilt!
Each left their “deposit” on the ground floor
Before climbing up high to go in their new smashed door.

A big rat or two had already moved in
Their little rat children were noisy, dirty and thin.
Then the deal breaker was smelled before seen.
The squirrels and chipmunks moved to floor eighteen!

I’m really thankful I have a good home with a refrigerator to keep all my food fresh until I get to eat it! And I’m thankful my Mom and Dad and Xena came back from their trip early this week. I’ve been working on my dirt addiction cause I think that’s what’s been giving me the squirts this past week. Mom said if it keeps up she’s gonna’ have to take me to see my dogtor. I like my dogtor!

Xena: I enjoyed being an only child, er, dog while I was on vacation with Mommy and Daddy. Even so, it’s been fun being back home with my crazy sister Chia. I’m thankful for both things!

Chia: I’ve decided to do everything Xena does so I get to be the one picked to go away with the folks next time. For instance I’ve watched how she greets Mom when she gets home from work, and I’m doing it the same. Even so, I’m thankful my bro Andrew was here with me. He let me sleep under the covers with him every night.

Lucy: We all hope all y’all have a good Thursday and have something good planned for the weekend coming up! See you later!

  3. What a cute idea with the poem…apartments for the little critters!! Yup, just like the squirrels who moved into out=r she when the roof had a hole in it from a tree limb falling on it…they even found storage for their walnut supply, BOL! Petcretary said oh no!!

    I called it a can of cardines!

    We are always thankful for the fridge here, and all the yums that our peeps keep in there, cause sometimes we get to taste them!

    Gad you are all home, and together again as a nice big family!
