...The tale of Sad Sack Sammy,
So the story goes.
A walking, talking, whiner,
Suffering his woes.

What Frustration Could Do
..."Who had this booby trap set?"
Asked the hit man quite upset
But flashing a borrowed smile
He could take to some one mile.
Later, what seemed a child's grin,
Once very rich, now as thin...

Ode To Our Cat Tom
...I know I should apologise but I ponder at my fault
I truly thought that every cat had abilities to vault
Most other times he ran away when I backed out of the drive
I mean it's only natural a cat'...
