                                                 Cats are like potatoe chips,
                                                   You just can't have one.

       

                               Snips of Poems
                                                            Silver
                                  Slowly, silently, now the moon 
                                  Walks the night in her silver shoon:
                                  This way, and that, she peers and sees
                                  Silver fruit upon silver trees;

                                                                            The Lady Of Shalott
                                                      On either side the river lie
                                                      Long fields of barley and of rye
                                                      That cloth the wold and meet the sky
                                                      And thro' the field the road runs by
                                                                    To many tower'd Camelot.

         Bramble Talk
  A caterpillar on a leaf
  Said sadly to another:
 "So many pretty butterflies....
  I wonder which one's Mother."

                                                      The Moon
                                             The moon was but a chin of gold
                                             A night or two ago,
                                             And now she turns her perfect face
                                             Upon the world below.
                                                     Emily Dickinson
Us Two
Lets frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh.
"That's right,' said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his paw and I shouted, "Shoo!
Silly old dragons!"- and off they flew.
"I wasn't afraid,' said Pooh, said he,
"I'm never afraid with you."
                A.A.Milne                          The Song of Wandering Aengus
                                                     When I had laid it on the floor 
                                                     I went to blow the fire a-flame, 
                                                     But something rustled on the floor,
                                                    And someone called me by my name;
                                                    It had become a glimmering girl
                                                    With apple blossom in her hair
                                                    Who called me by my name and ran
                                                    And faded through the brightening air.
                                                                        W.B. Yeats 

  Calico Pie   (one of my daughter's favs)
Calico Pie,
The little Birds fly
Down to the calico tree,
Their wings were blue,
And they sang "Tilly-loo!"
til away they flew,-
And they never came back to me!
They never came back!
They never came back!
They never came back to me!   
             Edward Lear
