He watches her moves;
He stands his ground and just stares.
A peeping tomcat.

A Big Ask
Adapted from Cabana Boy Q’s 2021 X-mas Song
Tasked
To be masked
And get vaxxed.
Patience tested,
Feeling stressed
To avoid areas congested.
What a pain,
But a shame
To complain.
For this one day
Best to pray
With only good things to say.
The end of year
Is near,
So with a big cheer –
Merry Christmas to all,
Have a grand ball!
Lazy Bones
Lovin’ doin’ nothin’,
Just workin’ on sayin’ “Boo”
While chillin’ with Bone Head,
Waitin’ to go trick or treatin’
With our skeleton crew.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Hot Dogging with Beans
Dinner on the cheap,
Wieners, pinto, kidney beans,
Add barbecue sauce.
Nothing fancy here,
Just basic down home cooking,
In a crockpot too.
Sometimes life is good,
When you don’t overthink food,
Just feel gratitude.
Corner Lot
Prime real estate,
Low traffic site,
Ideal for a retreat.
A mid-day respite
In a fine carpeted lot,
Around the corner to the right.
Curled up tight,
Looking like a fur-weaved mat,
Lays Antoine, the tuxedo cat.
“Sunny Side-Up” Pancakes
Pineapple centered,
Egg yolk impersonation;
Makes the day sunny.
Happy Easter
Every year goes by,
Period of reflection,
Culminates in peace.
My Brother’s Other Keeper

Littlest one got missed,
Jiji is one of the pack;
He can melt hearts too.
Jiji loves to sleep,
But he has a strange craving—
He tends to eat grass.
Mooman likes to cuddle,
Marmalade enjoys eating,
Case scares easily.
What about Babee?
She is special to the cats–
By annoying them.

Mooman and Babee,
Marmalade and Case Henley,
Great at melting hearts.

Lovers’ Lane
Not always a straight path,
Sometimes the road forks as an aftermath,
Two different ways to go inevitably,
Either together or separately,
But memories will linger,
Some remaining forever,
Maybe even changing over time,
With thoughts becoming more sublime,
Until fondness wins over pain,
While walking down Lovers’ Lane.
