BROKEN LEG, BROKEN HEART

DEAREST CAT, How much I shall miss thee, While I am in hospital with a smashed knee! And painful broken thigh. Then off to rehab for a very long time. I’d love to touch yout silken Calico fur, And hear your midnight, mellow purrs. On Christmas ~I shall not be back. Nor watch with you Santa, with boots,so black. I plan to keep writing, Irene my girl. Dreaming of the day, to touch your curls. Meanwhile, Elena and Eddie will visit thee. And, set up for you, a beatous, golden tree. Love, Mommy

Paul, how very dear a comment! wow! oh, the pain! and did not know my knowlegdge of “beastly language”was that enormous.I wear an Alert Boutton, that did not work! As if the button, would jumpstart with that feisty lingo? I addition.could not move at all to the phone? Elena Eagle,my daughter and new poetess here, knew something was amiss and came to my resue. Eagle was the first reponder,called the EMT’s! ROD is in my thigh and a plate for kneecap!Do pray for me, please? Respectfully, Panagioita~
