Thoroughly Poetical Thursday


Well, it are Thursday and I are back wif anudder poem.  I had to think for a while - dere are all kindsa I-words out there.  Imaginayshun (an endless supply of bacon), idio-see (da puppies), intolerable (da lack of bacon last weekend), well, ya gets da idea.  But I thought of somefin good.


Insects
by Travis Ford

A plus-sized tom or a lil runt
Both have dat natural instinct to hunt
But us three are stuck inside all day
Birdies and mousies don't come to play
But insects we get to chase and catch
Flies are a favorite we luv to snatch
Moths are fun to torture and to kill
Mom duzn't mind when bugs' blood we spill
Feather wands and nip mice can be fun
But killin for real are number one
I gotta go now see ya laters
It's time for cat exterminators!


We don't ackshually get to kill dat many bugs (dey are pretty rare gettin in da house) but we LOVE when we get da chance.  Da only thing dat beats bugs are lizards, I LUV torturing da baby geckos dat sneak in.

  2. What a great poem. We don't get to hunt many bugs...just the unlucky ones that come inside.

  5. Great poem. We love the mild days when TBT leaves the deck door open, we have insects in the house. We have them outside, but somehow its not the same.

  7. We love your poem. We gets to go in the garage and we can bring in bugs and Geckos. Mom or dad rescue the baby lizards. Dad usually takes the bugs away and teaches them to swim

  9. Well I do believe you have hit a new HIGH in poetry writing Travis! Your "I" poem is a beauty and reminds me of just how much I used to LOVE chasing and munching on moths outside. Mom and I used to go for a walk early in the morning when the moths were hanging around the porch light. When they got down to my level I'd grab 'em and eat 'em - they were delish! Good luck hunting.....keeping the bugs out of the house is good and I know you enjoy the occasional gecko-snack.

    Love, Angel Sammy

  12. Great poem! It has a good rhythm to it, and we're all with you on killing flies and moths. We even got a ladybug the other day. But we would leave the baby geckos alone. Too much mess, our Mom says.
