Maggie and Tippy

Like a small statue
Maggie sits on her rug
Staring at the squirrel
Her squirrel friend Tippy
His tail is white at the tip
She is intense watching

It won't be long before
She stretches at the door
Excited to chase
Tippy up the tree
Then he will look down
To laugh at her

This is how Tippy's day 
Always ends every day
Until tomorrow
Tippy plays this game
Teasing Maggie never ends

What a sweet poem, Darlene! This reminds me of my two pets, Smokey the cat and Tommy the tortoise; they chase each other a lot, but they really are good friends. Regards // paul

I like those names... Maggie and Tippy... Pot Hound Willy, would enjoy chasing Tippy... I don't think Maggie would take to kindly to Timothy Brown, he's much too mean and witty.... Thanks for sharing... Have a lovely day

Hello Arturo,I sense that you are right. Maggie does not like mean dogs. Thank you and good morning to you and have a nice day.
