Dooo-Iiii-Nnnnnn-Ggggggg

I stood behind the bathroom door
I may have been about three or four 
I held Mom’s biscuit in one hand
I loved to play in Kitty’s sand

Grin..

I found a toy mounted on the wall
This must be Kitty’s! Then I’d call
Kitty, kitty, kitty, come look and see
But kitty was busy, ignoring me

Frown..

I pulled and pulled, until it sprang
Dooo-iiii-nnnnn-ggg, it sang
The doggie came running, I pulled again
Dooo-iiii-nnnnnn-ggggggg, Dooo-iiii-nnnnnn-ggggggg
Dooo-iiii-nnnnnn-ggggggg, Dooo-iiii-nnnnnn-ggggggg

Grin..

Sandra Stop! That infernal noise!
Get out of that bathroom! 
Come play with your toys!
Leave that doorstop, leave it now!

But!..hffa,huffa, 
Now don’t you pout! 

Frown..

I grabbed a fist full of doggie hair
And plopped in front of the easy chair
Kitty came, but I was mad
So I hit her, then she scratched me bad!
Doggie waited, till I let go
Then stole my biscuit! Wouldn’t cha know!

I cried and cried, till Mommy came
Still at night, that thing,….it calls my name

OMG you must have been a handful! This is hilarious! ~lol~ Thanks for the thoughtful note - wish I could spend some more time here, but got too much to do. I hate this whole process and don't even want to move. Long story. Anyway, hoping things will be easier in about two weeks - before they get insane once again! Missing you too, and I thank you for this morning's smile. Hugs, Shar xoxo

Delightful images (and sounds) of your childhood, Alexandra! Guess you've learned to be more careful playing with those cats and dogs now, eh? Great poem! Love, Carolyn
