My Dog Lacy - the Whiner

Lacy, I Am Confused
By Mary J Williams ©

Lacy, I do not understand
Your continual whine
You had your morning treats
And it’s way too early to dine!

I took a shower, Lacy at the door
When I finished and went to my room
I saw a torn up something
Laying there, it surely met its doom

It was a chewed-on soap box
An angel soap was inside
Lacy had chewed the box and soap
I have no clue where it did abide

But there it lay
Right there on the floor
Lacy had chewed the box
The angels back, is no more

Why does she chew these things
Pieces of paper, Kleenex and more
She has good food and treats
Does she feel she has to score?

Maybe she wants attention
But how can that be?
She gets pet and treats all the time
What’s wrong with you, I plea?

I will just keep wondering
Hear her whine all day
What is the next thing
Lacy will have as prey

Will it be a used tissue
Or a picture laying around
Maybe something to lick
That’s been laying on the ground

I have no clue why she does this
She is sleeping beside me now
One of these days I will figure it out
Sooner than later, I vow!

Lacy- 2022

Where Does The Time Go

Time Flies By Mary J Williams (c) I was looking forward to planting Around the first of May Putting in the flowers Now, it's an August day Where on earth did the time go It seems like it just flew by It passed by so fast I feel like I could cry I like the warmer weather I can always cool off inside This old body doesn't move so good And that I can't abide I want to garden And pull out the weeds If I do all that Then I don't do other deeds I noticed my dog, Lacy Is slowing down too Sleeps most of the day no playing does she do I was out there today Pulling up some weeds Using a sprinkler up in front Water is what those plants need Still getting tomatoes The one plant is the best Early Girl is the name Better Boy's are the rest The time is going to fast Pretty soon freezing temps begin Then I will have to stay inside It will be "I can't wait 'til Spring starts again"                               ...

The Flying Squirrel By Mary J Williams © Standing at the sink Doing the dishes Looked outside Squirrel cleaning up dishes Grape jelly I put out For the orioles They haven’t been here But the squirrel sure knows I went out the door Yelled at him to leave This isn’t the first time I am really peeved That squirrel faded left Then he faded right Next thing I knew He had taken flight Off the banister deck To the ground below Watching him fly How far did he go? One day I’ll get the tape out And try to measure it This is not the first time I doubt he will quit It’s not really flying But a very long jump I am utterly amazed He lands without a thump   5-1-2024

Been Awhile since I Wrote

It’s Been Awhile By Mary J Williams © No poems lately What can I say Not even a story Has come your way It’s that time of year Gardening takes up time Plus, there are good movies I watch on Prime I have had critters galore I put out oranges and jelly For the Orioles that stop by Squirrels ate it all filling up their bellies Put safflower seed out too Squirrels aren’t supposed to like it Guess they didn’t read that info As they ate it all, not just a little bit Moles were tunneling everywhere Cicadas were making their noise Chipmunks running all over And Deer eating my rose Made a new spot In the front yard, you see So, I could plant daylilies For everyone and me I even have crocheted Baby blankets given away I love doing that I don’t make them pay I have cooked different things To try and tempt Jim However, he doesn’t eat it Sometimes no pleasing him My flowers are looking great Have pollinators about Butterflies and bees I’m doing good, I have no doubt       6-...
