The Plot

I got a lot

A lot of this Plot

The Plot?

Is to fetch a Tator tot

I got caught

During the Plot

To fetch a Tator tot!

Oops. Wrong Plot.

It is to eat the Tater tot!!!

Lucille

You sleep with me every night

And come with me every single day

You never take your eyes

Off of me even when I’m gone

You have your eyebrows down

Not purposely.

That means we’ve been together

FOREVER!!!

You’re the only thing I’m missing

When I’m not with you.

If I lost you, it would be the end.

Lucille, I love you!!!!!!!!

A child’s life in 2020

A child’s life changes.

Though this is a change that no child has had.

In the year of 2020.

A difference has struck

With the most frightening tear

For in the year of 2020

Life had a Virus.

One that was not social.

For if a child’s life is social,

That child grows.

In the year of 2020,

A child shall shrink in

Their Unsocial year.

Art

This is a work of art!

The best one at that,

For it is a...a…

What is it?

Art can be questionable, Which makes it art.

Be an Artist, be the one.

All art is different.

Art only happens when you work hard.

What is known

There are so many questions about life.

They are all deep.

So let’s answer the ones we can!

Stop wondering, start knowing

What you already know!

Be satisfied with what YOU know.

What you know for sure is:

You are who you are!

Lola

My little dog passed away.

I miss her and will never forget her.

Those little whiskers of hers, so long and so white.

I will always remember by the waves of the beach.

My Lola, Oh, I will never forget you.

Let it snow!

Snow. The delicate nature of it.

Feel it melt on your face.

The softness, the whiteness,

Oh, Let it snow.

So many things you can do!

Snowmen, snow angels, and snowball fights!

Oh, let it snow!

Xena

I never believed it when my mother told me. But Her life before was great. She’d always escape to find someone’s food! It depends... Waffles or what? So many stories I have to share: like stories of food, walks, and belly rubs! But of all, I love her. And she loved me back, and we did this exchange. She loved me so much and I loved her so much that I was there when she was put to sleep. But she is in rainbow bridge now, waiting for me. I will be there as soon as I can!!!

Xena’s Christmas!

Xena put up her belly, in hope that Santa Claws would soon be there, Xena was all snug in Mom and Dad’s bed while dreams of food, belly rubs, walks, and love danced in her head! On that Christmas morning, to her Christmas joy, she got an automatic Belly rub hand, Human food, a leash, a toy, Her owners, and her best friend! Xena got everything she wanted! This was the best Xena Christmas!
