A Penny for your Thoughts

 

 

 

This Sun feels great.

 

Her coffee really stinks

I can smell it all the way over here -

 

I could really use a nap.

 

 

squirrel!...

 

 

I'd like to bite whoever invented this screen.

 

Yes, I see you Mr. Chipmunk.

 

 

A few degrees warmer would be great.

 

Zzzzz

 

 

 

She always examines every bit of 

that newspaper 

before spreading it under my litter box.

 

People are so strange.

 

 

If I drank coffee I have it with 

a slice of fresh chipmunk

and some butter.

 

 

 

 

 

You know - the dog never really liked you.

Laminated Rats

 

  

 

 

            Yes, I can tell you exactly why I keep coming back to this blog; for one thing Zobostic doesn’t use teaser titles like those Yahoo journalists.  I find that very annoying.

 

       In here I find in-depth stories like the one last October by Barb Wire.  I think it was called, On the Fence.   Or the article last week about the tainted dates discovered at the Christmas calendar luncheon.  And I love some of the poems - not the ones that get stuck in my head all day.  I hate when that happens.

 

It isn’t just rich, exquisitely done articles that draw me back again and again, it’s the feeling I get when I visit this blog, like I’m seeing an old friend, someone I’ve known all my life.  Well - not all, because it isn't over yet.

  Maybe not a friend I’d lend $3.00 too or even want to share my lunch with – not that kind of friend, more of a sole mate - someone who has walked in my shoes. 

Not these shoes here but my other ones.  The brown tie shoes with the man-made uppers, oil resistant bottoms, you know the ones.  It’s more of that kind of feeling.

Oh, I see.  You thought I was thinking soul mate.  Oh heavens no.  This isn't that kind of blog.

And I could have that whole soul mate thing confused with something else.  It's like when I misunderstood that speech I heard about the laminated rats.

Now THAT was embarrassing.  Turns out it wasn't rats...  I forget now what it was.

Doesn't matter.

 

 

 

 

 

 



Side Effects

 

 

If we stay here the side effects are chills, frost bite and limited mobility.

If we take the Florida pill the side effects are itching and random swatting

 

If we take the Mid-west pill we will appear wind-blown, disheveled and lose our balance

 

No one can afford the California pill

 

Swallowing the Lone Star pill leads to dehydration and
 heat stroke

 

The great northwest pill has caused roof rot in some laboratory animal housing

 

The D.C. pill has been known to cause the following;

Greed

Arrogance

Loss of conscience

Verbal diarrhea

Megalomania

Short & Long term memory loss

Short-sightedness

and Truth Avoidance Disorder

 

 

Please consult your Doctor before exercising your judgment. 

 Remember...

When the Angels want to punish us they grant our wishes.

 

 

 

A. E. Housman

 

 

"I lay me down and slumber,

and every morn revive -

Whose is the night-long breathing

that keeps me man alive.

 

When I was off to dreamland

and left my limbs forgot,

Who stayed at home to mind them

and breathed when I did not?

 

I waste my time in talking

No heed at all takes he

My kind and foolish comrade

That breathes all night for me."
