Premium Member My Pet Peeve

Faith's morphed into a Sunday catharsis
for people feigning the worship of God.
Mimicking genuine faith, they fake it,
lock children in cages, and then applaud.

You either accept Jesus or not, but
don't build walls that condemn the poor to die.
And claiming to believe in Christian love,
snatch babies from mother’s arms; facts don't lie.

Such hypocrisy hurts my heart and soul,
for I can't abide by their two-faced ways.
Part-time Christians are a pet peeve of mine, 
flaunting their faith for an hour on Sundays.

God judges us by the love in our heart,
and He's not someone you try to outsmart.

Premium Member My Most Powerful Pet Hate Is Unkindness

Unkindness is
My most powerful pet hate
Possibly my only one

This includes 
meanness, unfairness, rape, murder,
cruelty to animals, impoliteness,
disrespect, theft, swearing and bad manners
Unless I am really in the swearing mood and no one is around.

I hear you laughing, my sworn enemy.
Oops! Was that unkind? Dhramn!
Disrespect, disdain, disregard, and disapproval
all fit under this umbrella.

Whipping children with yardsticks,
flyswatters, switches, and belts, and leaving
animals tied up outside to die also fit under there

Unkindness is my only pet hatred.  
People who are hurting the most have
endured one unkindness or another
I am sorry I called you my sworn enemy
Can I now be your sworn friend? When you
laughed at me you hurt me.  
This also told me that someone has been
unkind to you. Do you want to talk about it?

For all pet lovers, go and hug you pet.
Dogs love belly rubs, you can bet!
How about a yummy treat this very might?
Before, you sit with them this special night.

Spend time with your furry feline friemds.
Toys, Catnip, play, don’t be afraid to bend!
Their time with us, is relatively ,short.
Enjoy them now before they live in God’s heavenly court!

Look in their hypnotic eyes, delightfully mellow.
All pets, indeed, are as beautiful as rainbows.
You are blessed and good, to have one in your care.
Pet owners have a halo, which highlights their hair!

Harry


Aah Harry ! How can we not ode a domestic cat
cousin of the great Lyrans of Cosmic Fate : leo, jaguar, panther, lynx, tiger, cheetah to name but a few — you carry their genetic makeup across dews, giving these chosen their gross due ~

geometric accurate your agility to leap onto roof
imitating their ricochets into branches rustle, to view jungle, forest or curious humans tour ogling 
as you sound your mellow meows to starlings 
harking —- even to crows soaring, cat darling !

across time’s hours your intuition assess a neighbour’s aches and pains, where you visit 
to dish cat medicine by purring for gain, so sane
is your senses, paws not profane, making us guffaw our admiration raw —-

salute we your leadership as you hold whisker
seminars at night discussing needless cat fights check mates who are late, ruin ardent rodent runs through drains insane, shaking your 
                head like a lion did his   m a n e ! 
 
comical beloved Harry ! how you wrinkle your nose at flavoured sardines we feed you as a treat
no way will you eat what we think of as sweet 

sit you meditative at garden gate, patient for a
purr-fect date ~ she does not arrive, contrived another mate ——

care you not since sovereignty is your mark, hark 
independence gains your favour to savour every
moment free — no leash for your gallant strolls
among trolls, your joy watching crawling ants 
kiss-kiss as they scurry in a hurry collecting
winter stores galore for quiet insect snores

Aah Harry ! let this be one ode to you, another shall be sung, maybe scrolled, to be sold, on a 
“I love my cat’s hat” mug, so snug —
        sadly, you do not want my bug hug 
today, you say… 
               as you rush into garage hay !

Leave Me Not, Pet

I kiss your risks
Cheerfully without singled 
One out in asterisk 
As we romantically mingled

I play your ball
Joyfully on an away pitch 
Yet, you never reject any of my calls
Or dramatically snub me for the rich.

I fly your flight
Emotionally without copilot
Despite the watcher's awful fright 
Quietly watching to act like Pilate

Pure happiness rents my cheek
Whenever you come around
Bathing in your graceful creek
To energize the pale smiles joy abounds

The password I decode 
Remains unexplored 
Till morrow outmode
My ever gallant warlord

Truly, love changed me 
Trying out the best logic
Tracking details about our wee
Most of which are on academic

My attitudes are dying 
Of thy presence in loneliness 
Your gratitude are spying
My fortitude in weariness

Master of my mind
Your absence gets it blind
As the queen of your heart
This poem pens you an everlasting art

76 The Sort of Pet I Am to Thee

76.

The Sort of Pet I am to Thee



Consider that I'm not a pest

As I am subject to thy behest



Perhaps I'm a rooster

Who wakes up earlier

To tell my master

I'm ahead him/her



Perhaps I'm a cat

Who incurs my wrath

On every destructive rat

In my keeper's hut



Perhaps I'm a canine

Who barks even past nine

When someone crosses the line

I can even break a spine



Perhaps I'm a pig

Who just lay fat and big

Can't even do a graceful jig

Only comfort it wants to dig



Perhaps I'm a carabao

Friend of iron plow

Machine for more than just an hour

Works with even humble bow.



If I'm all or none above

I hope to me you have some love.

Buddy Graystone - Pet Rock

Today I found my long lost Pet Rock
You know, the one from the 70's
I was sure years ago I'd lost him for good
Go ahead, ask if I'm happy

I found him on the side of the road
Just relaxing at doing nothing
I guess without me in his life
He was major bored or something

I picked him up and we both hugged
It was a very emotional moment
I know what your thinking to yourself 
Kinda brings a tear to your eye now don't it

After exchanging the usual pleasantries
I placed him in a kerchief of silken lining
If I didn't tell you I skipped all the way home
You know I would be lying

Getting back to the house all tuckered out
We went early to bed
I fluffed a pillow up just enough
So Buddy could lay his weary head

I can't tell you how good it feels right now
To have my Pet Rock back home with me
At last my life can get back into
A mode of normalcy



Wait....You didn't honestly think I would end it here did you?



When we woke up early the next morning
I poured Buddy a bowl Fruity Pebbles
He looked at me rather strangely
As if questioning, what do you think I'm some sort of cannibal?

After that little speed bump in our relationship
To get our friendship back on track
I suggested we go somewhere special
Buddy suggested we take a nap

I'd forgotten after all these years
How much he liked to lay around
Guess nothing much has changed
On this, his side of Gravel town

Buddy and I do everything together
My Love for this rock, can't get out of my head
Where my life was once filled with immeasurable sadness
Now overflows with loads of joy instead

That is until the day we went to the park
And he wanted to skip across the lake
At that point I realize
He and I might have made a grave mistake...

Premium Member Fifteen Fabulous Felines Pet

A cacophony of cats in my life.
Not one or two, but fifteen!
Each,who along with joy,
brought sadness and strife!
All shapes and sizes with grand
and most loving personalities.

The Maine Koone was the smallest
of all.
Maxine was pedigreed and came
home as a present for my daughter 
as a surprise, one fall.

My oldest cat,Luvey,lived to be 
a sprightly twenty years old!
A tortoiseshell petite cat,fun and
a loving, furry,cloud to hold.

Kelly came next, a handsome red tabby.
A happy, mellow fellow who pranced 
with such grace!
He really was happy and snazzy.

Lucey came later, a Ragdoll prize of a cat,
about to be put down!
I fought and won to stop her date with an
imminent death showdown!

I have 15 wooden boxes that have their 
cremains..
Each box carved, beloved,and my
housecoat with lost cat tear stains.

I fed them fluids by IV,medications food, 
on a special stand.
And countless nights in emergency vet 
rooms, wringing my hopeless hands.

My last cat, Luvey lost her ability to see
and walk.
I placed her in a wheelchair and moved 
her about.
For I am not one when faced with a challenge,
to balk!

I can't list all their names of how
fun and charming they were.
Just know, that I think of myself as a cat..
Minus the fur!

.........................................
* I do know how to spell the correct name of the
word after breed. It comes out as Maine ****.
Sorry I was unable to use the correct spelling.
She was a regal cat, deserving of her correct
breed name and feline heritage.

A Rhyme About Your Favorite Pet

Premium Member More Pet Peeves

How about when stores jack up their prices
Then reduce them and call it a sale
I've been on to these devious practices for years
Their attempt to bamboozle us has failed

Annoying commercials that treat us like morons
As if we're gonna fall for that stuff
Like if you brush with mint flavoured toothpaste
Your sweetie will greet you in the buff

How about optometrists with really bad breath
As they lean over to adjust that eye thing
More than once I nearly passed out in the chair
Need a sign on the door with a warning

Or when you're at a game with the whole family
And a guy gets drunk and obnoxious
Using every cuss word ever known to mankind
You wish you could muzzle this ignoramus

You pay scads of dough for a vacation down south
And it rains every day of your stay
Your condo smells like the back end of a donkey
A most forgettable vacation I'd say

Well I'm sure most people can relate to these
You probably have a bunch of your own
Should be a service called Pet Peeves Anonymous
Or a help line you could contact by phone

Premium Member My Angel Dog

Soft, warm eyes caressed my soul
With a gentleness that would thrive
When I took the time to look into them
Where so much love and joy abounded
Such tenderness surrounded me as I 
Allowed this intimacy to fill my heart
And guide my thoughts to a heavenly
Place of grace, where goodness would
Remain, even in the worst sort of pain
~~~
All too soon, my canine friend, my angel
From the hand of One who must have known
I needed a treasure to stay by my side
Always aware of my needs and my dreams
Willing to give to me all of its kind heart
With feelings that seem to make prayers
Bleed from the veins of those who know
This placid spirit will leave this earth
Bounding across the light that separates
The heavens from us, who will always seek
To know the love inspired by this one friend
Who, in spite of darkening the days with death
Will forever be alive, a welcome light, secreted
Deep within the soul who loves completely
~~~
Those soft, warm eyes still caress my soul
From the heavens where I know God alone
Feels the adoration of this gentle friend’s devotion
~~~
Love like this will forever be a part of my heart!
