Snails
Bought some snails today
Two to be exact
I asked
What about those smaller skinny ones
How much are those?
Those are for free
Why?
Because they produce asexually
And really multiply
I said I guess I'll stay away from the free snails
Then I said where are the ferrets?
We no longer carry ferrets, but the rest are over there at the end of that aisle
So I watched the guinea pigs and hamsters
One was trying desparately to get out
He wasn't happy
He wanted to be free
Not in a zoo for people to stare at him and make him feel weird inside
Animals have feeling too and most should not be in cages
Especially chimps
I really feel sorry for gorillas too

About this poem:
I went to Petsmart to get two snails to replace the ones that had died recently. I bought them on Palm Sunday. They lived a little over four months. The woman said I should feed them algae tablets daily and they should live longer. We'll see what happens.
THE OWL
WHEN THE OWL SPEAKS; PEOPLE LISTEN! HE POSSESSES THOSE SPOOKY EYES THAT SEEM TO GLISTEN! I LONG TO HEAR HIM HOOT, FOR HE"S AN EVERLASTING WATCHDOG AND YOU SHOULD BE EVER AWARE AS YOU COMMUTE! HE"S A STRANGE BIRD BUT HARDLY A MORE DISTINCTIVE SOUND CAN EVER BE HEARD! I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE AN OWL PERCHED OUTSIDE MY HOME! HE WOULD BE MY FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE AND HE WOULD ALERT ME, BEFORE THE MOMENT GETS TENSE!

online today!CATS
Cats are natural destroyers of rodents
Protecting man's property from the same
Based on this, humans may have seen the sense
In giving household felines a good name
Cats are treasured in many homes today
And are viewed as part of the family
They just need some food to eat, and to play
And they can be quite pleasant company
Cats and young children make good company
They all share in a common playfulness
Having fun with each other cheerfully
And filling each other with happiness
There are persons who are isolated
And life for them can be very lonely
A pet cat can make them feel uplifted
And help to ease their feelings of misery
Egyptians gave cats a god-like status
This is shown in the writings of their scribes
Today, not all of that status is lost
Why else do we say a cat has nine lives?

Rodeo~~~~Villanelle
It was a hot and dusty day
the crowd fidgets as it waits
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
howdy folks the announcers say
Raging Tornado in shute awaits
it was a hot and dusty day.
Saddle slipping this and that way
only held in place by weights
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
R.T. chews on his cud of hay
pawing the ground in anger waits
it was a hot and dusty day.
Flies out of shute now comes what may
saddle slips man evacuates
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
Riders distract bull hold at bay
while man slides out and valuates
It was a hot and dusty day
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
the crowd fidgets as it waits
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
howdy folks the announcers say
Raging Tornado in shute awaits

pawing the ground in anger waits
it was a hot and dusty day.

bull dripping sweat in shute bay.
Riders distract bull hold at bay
while man slides out and valuates
It was a hot and dusty day
bull dripping sweat in shute bay.

Post Commentonline today!Dogs and Cats
After working hard on the job all day
Feeling worn out, tired and very stressed
It's nice coming home and seeing your dog
Tail wagging, smiling, happy, full of zest
Dogs are faithful and also man's best friends
They usually seek their owner's protection
If they sense danger or threatening action
Their bark can create quite a commotion
Cats are very lovable animals
Their presence can be good therapy too
Caressing them and hearing their purring
Can also be quite comforting to you
Cats can be seen licking their coats quite clean
They have an aversion to filthiness
Snuggling close to you on the couch or bed
You need not fuss about their tidiness
Dogs and cats are the favourite household pets
They enrich our lives with company
All they ask of us is food and water
In return, they make us very happy
Feeling worn out, tired and very stressed
It's nice coming home and seeing your dog
Tail wagging, smiling, happy, full of zest
