Sandra Hudson Poet Free verse

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

Sharon Winter June 25, 2009 at 6:40 AM 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
