Put it on Pasta?

Try it with hashbrowns?

Maybe with rice?

Or just go out

and get more crackers.

Experimenting is more fun!

You always know where they are.

Hidden in their room.

Tromping down the stairs.

Making messes in the kitchen.

Running through the house.

That noise announces

their arrival

and sometimes their departure.

It does however make life more interesting.

The purring commences

before I find the favorite spots.

The bridge of his nose.

Chin scritches.

Under his collar.

Overall petting

as his rumbling purrs

resonate into me.

Need an answer?

Look it up.

Ingredients going bad?

Find a new recipe.

Bothering health symptoms?

Wikipedia will know.

Bored and restless?

Find an exercise video.

Want to know the truth?

Double check the facts.

Caution flies by.

Try to catch it!

Truths get lost

As caution watches.

Crash the landing.

Find the home.

Talk to your Auntie.

Give up the ghost.

No where is real.

Send your best regards.

Fly through the clouds.

Blow them all away!

Fish on a Stick

Chocolate in a jar

Ducks in a muffin

We won’t even get into the chicken/duck/turkey combo!

Or the obvious chili chilled.

My favorite is still fried ice cream.

One set time.

The rest is flexible.

What will happen for the day?

I guess we will find out.

After all,

life is short

and sweet times

are becoming rarer these days.

Small enclosures.

Nowhere to hide.

Must be nice.

Life is short.

Quarantine lasts too long.

Mental health degrading.

Sunshine at the end of the tunnel.

One day,

the door will open

and screaming will commence

as we flee the cage our house became.

Sleeping past noon.

No energy.

Simple tasks require a rest afterwards.

Eating becomes a major chore.

Still the cat wants to play

and refuses to let you just sit there!

So string time it is.

Then a nap.

If she lets me…

Craving an old delight.

Smothered with butter.

Plain or cheese?

Herbed cream cheese spread?

Smoked salmon slices?

Or warm from the bakery oven?

A tasty treat

that has not been enjoyed

for quite some time!
