Just bending over in the yard,
bothered her arthritis.
It made her life so very hard,
yup something was amiss.
Off to the store and she would get,
a marionet duplicate.
Off to the store,
off to the store.
An idea she would not regret!
**
She's happy now as pig in shit,
and things are lookin' great.
Her fingers no longer get bit
and now her back stays straight!
Down to the park she goes each day.
Her marionette on display.
Down to the park,
down to the park.
There in the morning she would stay.
**
The squirrels confidence she'd gain,
picks out the "fattest" one.
Then smacks em with her metal cane
before they get to run!
It's supper time and she must eat
and squirrels make a yummy treat.
It's supper time,
it's supper time.
And roasted squirrel can't be beat~

A rather complex write in rhyme scheme and structure. Very nicely done but I'm a bit picky about what I eat.

Hi Thad.
I’m just a vegetarian,
So squirrels are quite safe from me.
Get her onto a pensian
And let the animal go free.
Not for nothing my first name’s ‘Doggerel’. I bow to your superior versification and mastery of a complex form. 👍
Hii Doggerel!! 🐶🐕 👋
Then I'll call you
Doggerel frum now on! ¿ 😳
And thanks for your
awesome comment, 👍
you made my day guy!! 😄
Best regards ✌️ Thad
Nah - I'll only answer to 'Dave'. The Doggerel was/is there as a warning only in order not to raise expectations......👎👎
Good write Thad.
Andy

Great hearing from ya!! ☺️
Best regards ✌️ Thad
You know, for too many years now I've read tales of the elderly and beggerly catching and eating squirrels, albeit I'm still too much of a youngster and my only claims are trying to catch one just before dinner in 5th grade [Hey! I wanted a pet and he was too fun!];and having one of my neighbors call the squirrels "your friend--"(well, he DID murder one of my potted plants to avail himself of said pot and digging happily in the dirt; and he DID destroy my soft cooler when he wanted the buns I packed there over winter...) And oh! the image! I was too tired to respond at all when you posted this, but stared in fascination at the picture....from, whence you drew inspiration? Awesome! I declare, you're a regular riot!!! I just did my duty and read this aloud, as all poetry is to be properly enjoyed: too waltzingly rendered with superb and rollicking humor, not to mention awesome details. Thank you very much for sharing. Me loves.
Awww,
thank you Missy, 🌺
all I can say
your comments
always make my day! 💯
Sometimes I write ✍️
serious poems but
I hardly
get any comments¿,😳
Guess folks need
to laugh these days!
So my poems I write
are mostly humor.. 🤣
Glad I could bring you
a chuckle or two!!
Best wishes 🍀 🤗 🌹 Thad
