Our Travel Poem on Thankful Thursday

Published on by Xena, Lucy and Chia

Thanks to Angel Brian, who is hosting Thankful Thursday, as well as Angel Sammy for the great picture every week!

Utrecht Dancing Bushes by Xena

We traveled to the Netherlands to the pedestrian street café.
We didn’t know there’d be dancing bushes with which we all could play.
The streets in Utrecht have entertainment all throughout the day.
But what made these folks wear shrubs, neither of them would say.

We played and danced until exhausted, we all fell to the ground.
Then crawled to a cafe table where special sweets were found.
Our bushy friends could not eat, so we chomped all theirs down,
Then went home with tales so wild, our friends we did astound!

The End

Xena: Did you know that the Netherlands are knows for their plants, including their bushes? Me either! I’m always thankful when my Mommy helps me look up things like that. Daddy went up to Fort Wayne In Dee Anna yesterday, and he’s not coming back for a whole week. I’m very, very thankful that Mommys stayed home with me, er, us!

Lucy: I’m glad he didn’t make me ride on a jet plane, too. So I’m thankful that he left all of us home, even though I miss our Dad.

Chia: I’m thankful that I managed to get out of the house by myself this week. I ran right up the street and around the corner to Miss Susan’s house. That’s where Sasha and Oliver live. I have a sneaking suspicion Miss Susan called my Mom and told her I was there, cause next thing I know, here comes Mom walking over to Miss Susan’s with Xena and that crazy puppy Fritz. And I’m thankful I didn’t get in trouble for it, too. My Mom loves me a lot! I just don’t understand why she won’t take me to work with her!

Xena: I’m also thankful that nowhere throughout these Thankfuls did Chia call me Xeboo…
Chia: Hey, Xeboo, ready to wrap this up and play with me?
Xeboo, er, Xena: *sigh*

  7. I have been in Utrecht, but Idon’t recall walking shrubs, or anywhere else in the Netherlands. Must be a newer thing, since i was last there in 2008…

    Escaped to go to a friend’s house, Chia?? Naughty you! At least you didn’t go roaming. Our doggy cousin if he manages to get out runs across the street to where is 3 girlfriends live; two ladies and a pup…

    That was a fun poem…to me it looks like a m an and a lady shrub. BOL!

  9. Java Bean: “Ayyy, Chia, the humans do not like it when we dogs go walkabout! Even though it’s a whole thing for them in Australia! So I have no doubt that you are correct about being ratted out by Miss Susan. No harm done, though!”

  10. You’re right, I should never say Zeb…oops. Almost did it again! You know what, I used to think Chia was the most aggravating dog I ever met, but then I met Fritz…*sigh* I do give in and play with him sometimes, and so does Chia, but Lucy wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Daddy says Lucy has raised enough puppies (Riley and me). *wags and licks* Xena

  15. Such a clever poem, guys! Well done. Sorry your Dad is away but I’m sure you’ll have a good time with Mom all to yourselves. Stay in the house, little one…it’s much safer and you won’t be worrying your mama. Utrecht looks like a beautiful place to visit. I don’t think I’ve every seen a walking shrub. 😉

  28. Chia: Yep! Clare’s older sister was home for Easter break and when she came over to drop off Fritz, I scooted out the door as she left. (I guessed right that she wouldn’t know I wasn’t supposed to!)
    Xena: No walking bushes, boys, but they are known for their flowers, including shrubs. (Mr. Google told me that!)

  29. Super Duper poem for the wacko photo this week! We also didn’t know about Utrecht having street entertainers – Mom says back in her art/painting days the art supply store she visited had Utrecht products so they are a very artsy place. I just know that you’re taking a chance dressed up as a bush when there are animals around who are looking for a place to “lift a leg” !!! Tee Hee

    Huggies, Teddy
