Poetry Monday's once a week.

I bet you know which day.
I don't participate every time,
But today I've come out to play.

My friends assign each week a theme,
Stuffed Animals, what they chose.
Now it's up to all of us,
to put our thoughts into prose.
 
 
 



 
 
The Case for Stuffed


Pets are known to bring us
neverending joy.
I know we like to play with them,
yet they think that we're the toy.

Whenever we're sad or upset,
they'll be by our side.
Lovingly lick our face,
till those tears have dried.

They're our loyal companions,
so alone we never feel,
(and I'm sure it's not just that
they're looking for their next meal).

But oh, how we spoil them, 
seems they're always in the mood,
to allow us share with them
all of our favorite food.

When it comes to stuffed animals,
here's the honest scoop:
there's no tripping over leashes,
wrapped around you in a loop. 

No danger of them fighting,
get along in any group,
and never will you find yourself
picking up . . . you know . . . their poop.

  7. I was inseparable from a stuffed panda when I was young - I literally wore all the fur off it. And my son had a teddy bear that he was inseparable from. You brought back memories. (But no, we didn't feed them).

  9. Excellent! I've often wondered if i'm going to want to actually have pets my whole life, or if there will come a time when stuffed animals and memories of pets past will be sufficient.
