Peepers

Next Monday I get my peepers checked
Certainly couldn't be better timing
Bumping into walls, wearing Cathie's sciveys
For my 20-20 vision I'm pining

Fed our bird Tweety a big bowl of dog food
Fed our dog Rover some bird seed
Rover tried to fly off the top of his doghouse
While Tweety lifted her leg to pee

Hope I don't do myself bodily harm
While hoisting my bum on the sink
Think they're making toilets higher these days
A peeper check's overdue, methinks

By mistake I donned a gown of Cathie's
Felt silky and sexy and girlie
But Cathie caught me posing in front of the mirror
Thought I was starting to act kinda squirrely

A real dilemma most unusual to encounter
During my very short stay here on earth
What it all boils down to is very bad eyesight
But it causes much laughter and mirth

Carol Eastman July 23, 2013 at 10:37 AM Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Dragon says I don't see half the stuff going on around me. So I surprised him. I Turned around. I caught him. He was trying to make off with Joey's girlfriend's nail polish. Hah! I'd love to have seen Joey's face when she blames Dragon for polishing the nails of the cats and dogs. Dragon said he's got to practice some where. LOL.Too good to miss, so I let him have it. Let Joey get her more polish. They were looking bored... And at MY house no less. Go figure. Jack Ellison July 23, 2013 at 12:05 PM That Dragon guy seems a little hard to handle! LOL Needs some serious discipline!
