Poor Frowzy

My paper dog caught a cold and snuffled, 
and, sad to say, his bark was muffled. 
Frowzy's life was very hard - 
made from a ribbon and some cards
that weren't completely shuffled.

Very simple, however, very interesting... As sometimes I feel the same, life feels like a "deck" not completely "shuffled"...

Thanks, Angela, I appreciate your comments - especially about my age - lol! I had a pretty good Christmas, my son and daughter-in-law were visiting, but I got a cold. Maybe, that's why I wrote this poem. If I'm a deck of cards, I'm playing 52 pickup right now. :-))
