Patches

I love the outdoors, sunshine
is so wonderful. And I enjoy
terrorizing greeting everyone
who walks by - merrily barking
and trailing along the fence
as they pass by
I keep all my special fun things
under this rug - chewed bones and
green apples, rubber bands, toys and
anything reachable Mom's hair accessories
I can walk any rope,
tight or not - high or low -
just don't give me no hoops
"Miss Curiosity enjoys admiring
herself in the mirror and having
her picture taken". Patches never
misses any opportunity to admire
her pictures either
Toys never remain in the toybox
long, they all have to be dragged
out and cosseted. Although most
no longer have any eyes or mouth,
they are true friends who comfort
through the night.
Patches MUST be involved in
any household activity, so she can
nose right into the proceedings.
As finicky as any cat, she'll turn
her nose up at food she wolfed down
the day before

Y'all come back now, hear?
