Shooing With Tongue on the Tongue of a Shoe.

Shooing with Tongue on the Tongue of a Shoe

There once was a mooch named McGerhard McFloo
who spent his whole life on the tongue of a shoe
where he shooed away flintlocks and floogles and stuff.
As a matter of fact, he would get downright rough.

He would beat them with bagels and flog them with floggles
from the foot of their feet to the top of their toggles.
Then he bopped them again every minute or two
till those flintocks and floogles were beat black and blue.

But they just wouldn’t leave till that mooch McFloo sung
a rock-a-bye ballad with only one lung.
Then they leapt and they lithered until they were gung.
Now McGerhard McFloo only shoos with his tongue!

Now I Know Why They Call Them Swallows!!!

We have a new family in the neighborhood, perched atop Sergio and David’s long-handled dusters. Luckily, they are in a spot where my cats can’t reach them, so they’ve resorted to a rest period.

Cat times Four!!

No time to blog as I have kids art camp so I’m reblogging this blog from years ago when Kukla, Fran, Ollie and Roo finally had their shots and were neutered and spayed so they could live outside. Here is their adventure:

Busy Day All Around!

When I tried to get in a little quiet time in the hot tub before a very busy day, the doggies joined me. Morrie tried to join in but then deserted for a little Zen time of his own.

The Rest of the (Second) Story

Click on photos to enlarge.

When I sent my neighbor David a thank-you for sending me the photos of Coco and Zoe on the roof—naughty kids—because their mom and Yolanda forgot to shut the gate up the stairs, he shot back this answer, which I didn’t receive until this morning:

“HECK, WAIT!  There’s more. . . . and then there’s Morrie! With some prodding, he got the nerve, too . . .  and joined the rooftop party!

Above are the photos I had missed last night as they hadn’t yet downloaded. If you missed yesterday’s post, HERE are the photos of Coco and Zoe he’d sent.

After not blooming for months, the tabachine bush just burst into bloom. I guess it was waiting for the rain.

Leaf Fall, Snow Fall––For Wordle 615

Leaf Fall, Snow Fall

Voracious winds split open to spill their crumbled spoils,
unfurling leaf confetti in airborne swirls and coils.
They empty them on lawn and deck, a sign of  what is coming
when winter drops its glittering load—beautiful and numbing.
I do not fear chill prospects, for I’ll be warm and snug
as my house wraps arms around me in its protective hug.

 

For the Sunday Whirl 615 the prompts are: grim glittering crumble empties confetti voracious unfurls wind split mind sign deck
