My Last Birthday Month Poem

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

I do hope Xena lets me do the poems more throughout the year. But this is my last one for January.

The Idjit and the Horse by Lucy

I saw that horsie coming and I squeezed my eyes shut tight
But she made it o’re that idjit with a clearance oh so slight.
Now I see this quarter horse not more than 14 hands.
After she jumps this idiot he may be no more a man.

Poor guy. I wonder if this is some kind of punishment. *sigh* I’m thankful my Mom never punishes me. I always try to be a good girl. Once in a while I have messed up and she has scolded me, so I’m also thankful that she forgives me almost right away, too.

Chia: I’m thankful all that cold white stuff is gone from our yard. And I’m thankful that I get to pick between Andrew and Mom for where I sleep at night.

Xena: I’m thankful for…I don’t know. It’s not been a great week. I messed up at church last week on the carpet in the chapel and Mommy stepped in it and well, things went downhill from there. I mean, she didn’t punish me or anything, but, well, I may not be going back. Or I may have to wear my big girl panties if I do. I don’t know which is worse. And I’ve been wanting to sleep on the couch where I’m already curled up on a soft blankie instead of getting up and going into the bedroom with Mommy. Then I get cold or scared or lonely and go pound on the door to get let in. I guess I should have learned by now to not wake up my Mommy. It doesn’t go well. Is this the kind of stuff that happens when you’re only four months away from turning eight years old?

Chia: Now I’m also thankful I’m not Xena. Maybe Mom will take me to work instead!

Xena: Yep, Chia, I heard Mommy talking about when she’s going to take you.

Chia: When? Tell me! *wags*

Xena: When H-E-double hockey sticks freezes over. But she didn’t spell it, she said the word.

Lucy: I think (hope) that’s all we’ve got for today. Before we go, I want to thank  Angel Sammy for the fun picture and, as always, I’m thankful for Angel Brian, who does such a great job at hosting Thankful Thursday.

  3. Nope, Mommy says if the poops hadn’t been there she wouldn’t have had to watch where she was walking, and it was my fault it was there. *sigh* Hey, maybe that aging memory loss thing will kick in and she will forget…. XOX Xena

  6. Awww, please don’t worry. It’s just that is was cold out and Mommy wasn’t standing outside with me for the 10 minutes it takes me to find “just the right spot,” ya’ know? I’m OK. Now I’m sitting in the car in the garage cause our generator is making terrible noises and the lights blink sometimes and I was about to shake outa my skin. But it’s nice in the car. Quiet. I’m gonna take a nap now. OXOX Xena

  8. Sorry to hear about your accident at the chapel. It wouldn’t have been so bad if mom hadn’t stepped in it. So is mom taking responsibility for her naughty feet? Why do you take all of the blame? Perhaps this will blow over.🤞

  9. I just made a comment on another blog about the people in the picture. Idiots all! I do hope it a Photoshop photo and not real, but people never surprise me. all of you did a great job assisting our Poet for the day, Lucy. Good Job Lucy… If Xena would not get up I would pick her up and plunk her in the bed.

  19. Mommy’s been carrying me into the bedroom and placing me gently on the bed next to where she’s going to sleep. That way I don’t wake her up. Well, I could tell she was mad, she just didn’t yell at me or anything. I did get a lecture, though. Xexe

  23. You are all such a hoot!!! So sorry, Xena, about the accident. I step in hairballs from my cats all the time. They enjoy leaving them strategically placed in the hallway in front of doors so there’s no way to miss them. lol!!! But I don’t get mad at them. I’m sure your Mommy won’t get mad at you either. Accidents happen. Hairballs happen (especially during hairball season). And that’s life. But it’s good not to wake her up at night when she’s sound asleep. I’m not too happy about that either when it happens to me. lol!!

  25. Well first of all Lucy that poem was PERFECTION and we too hope that guy letting the horse jump over him remained “intact” after the trick. Same for the horse – it was dangerous for all concerned wasn’t it! All we could say when we saw the photo was “EEEEEEEK!”. As for the – well – accident at church Xena, these things happen – we’re sure you didn’t do that on purpose it was just one of those unfortunate things and we’re sure all the church people knew that. Honest!

    Huggies, Teddy (and Mom too)

  26. Lucy, your poem and the thoughts it conjured made me LOL!!

    Sorry you had trouble when you were at the church, Xena…

    And Chia, with the cold we had a bit ago…maybe your Mom’s dire prediction might come true, BOL!!! (Just kidding…)
