The Button

The Button

My Button’s stuck up in a tree
And yowling away ceaselessly
Now I told him not to, but see
My Button’s stuck up in a tree

My Button’s bullying the neighbor’s dog
Though he’s the size of a hedgehog
Mocking the giant, confused Mastiff
My Button’s bullying the neighbor’s dog

My Button’s in the shelves again
And running, little choo choo train
Pushing the books off like rain
My Button’s in the shelves again

My Button’s brought a cricket in
Shrilly proclaiming his chagrin
When Longlegs skips, runs out on him
My Button’s brought a cricket in

My Button just won’t eat his food
The fish ‘n’ chicken’s been reviewed
The Tasty Treat’s long been pooh poohed
My Button just won’t eat his food

My Button’s finally asleep
Right on the laptop, breathing deep
A fluffy tabby snoring heap
My Button’s finally asleep.

Writing about animals that play a role in my life, lol. I could start a whole blog just on that one topic. =P

This particular Button was my cat, dare I call her that, having the last laugh on me. A surprise pregnancy right before the scheduled date for her fixin’, two kittens, one of whom was the finest at birth I’ve seen yet.

That teeny weeny size and his predisposition for .. ahem .. Indigestion, shall we say, is why we named him Button. And since his mom is fluffy white cat, there’s a tabby tomcat somewhere who needs to pay child support. Bad kitty! >=(

The only reason I wrote about peanut here is because he’s chewing my toes as I speak type. The other cats and dogs and bird(s) are just as deserving of having their own posts. That was originally one reason I added the Purring category. Methinks it’s time to feed that folder too!!

So! I found a button! And what about you? What’s the pet that you would write about? =)

Love and light
(and a little purring)
