BLUE DAYS

I am alone now
And the sky is without clouds:
We are very blue

BLACK CATS ARE COOL (EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR)

A friend sent this to me early this morning, and I could not resist posting it on my blog: I've always been partial to black cats - and not just on Halloween. Anyway, hope your Pumpkin Day has been a happy one for you!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

TO KILL A COCKROACH (TAKE 2)

Cockroach, cockroach
dashing across my
kitchen floor:

You were shameless
and ugly, but you
are no more.

Where did you come
from? Did I carry
you home from the

store? Or how about that
messy neighbor with
his beer cans and

garbage galore? Did you stagger
to my place, after he booted
you out the door? Now I'll

never learn the truth
because I came up with the
perfect cure: A little bit of

Lysol spray - made you
gasp your last, I'm sure.
You're not as daring and

quick on your feet as
you used to be before.
Just a disgusting creature

on its back, never to nibble
on my crackers anymore:
or shamelessly sip from my

unguarded cup. Show a
little respect for the poor!
Good riddance to your

filthy habits and hunger:
You will not disturb
me anymore. With

one swift flush
I bid you farewell:
Is that not what a toilet is for?
