WIVES HUMMINGBIRDS OTHER PETS

By Dan Donlan, www.PoetryPoem.com/dandy1    Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime

I once owned a cat
He stayed anywhere I sat
On my neck he took a look
By the fireside we read a book
One day off he took

Had me a dog called him Barney
Where I sat he was by my knee
Then one day he got so old couldn't see
And it was a sad day he was taken from me

Dogs and cats have s few drawbacks
They leave hair droppings in their tracks
Had three more dogs that is the facts
But for me no more cats

Today I have a Wife and Hummingbirds
No more dropped fur and--"Dog droppings?"
You can fill in the rhyming words

Now Hummingbirds do not take much care
And they surely don't drop much hair
And hummingbirds are so easy to feed
1/4 sugar, microwaved and 3/4 water, fills their need

Now Wives are a much different case
Three times a day and better be to their taste
They also happen to be accident prone
And for a treat they want a ice cream cone

I been thinking I need to get rid of some of my pets
The dogs and cats I took to the vets
the Wife (back surgery,$45,000 Broken leg $63,456
So what pet, this is a quiz, should I get rid of?
Remember 52 years there is allot of love

A--cat B--dog C--Hummingbirds d--Wife e--Falling off Hair
Anyone checking A,b, c or d is not me
If I had the choice I'd keep all above you agree?
But its these rats and ants need an exterminator
I want them all gone much sooner than later

*Dreamweaver Thought she might let me back in the house
after reading this. He had to know. She well often say
to me, "My Father said I would marry an invalid and have
to take care of him the rest of my life. Careful what you
say dear. If someone says are you married? She answers, "For
the time being he's the one with the pension." The safety
net is neither took out Life insurance. Should it worry me she
wants me to take up dangerous sports. She broke her collarbone
skiing. Ankle on a ladder and she wanted me to put hang diving
on my bucket list. Can someone read my forehead. Does it say
"Stupid" on it. /dandy
