Piper's Adventures
Jumping on the piano
quite fat
looking for a role model
saw a cat in a hat
He sat on the table
looking quite thin
chatting as he ate dinner
getting food on his chin
Picking up the newspaper
reading about current affairs
thought for a moment
stating life is not fair
Take my advice
eat until quite content
stare humans in the eye
they will wonder the intent
Swinging his umbrella
singing as he walked out the door
dancing in the puddles
the rain began to pour

The apparition appeared
in the middle of the night
making noise
trying to give a fright
Moving things around
suddenly the woman was awake
looking around
at things about to break
The apparition was suave
wanting her to be his queen
looking at the mess
she began to scream
Stay if you must
haunting this home
but as for me
I choose to be alone
Rules of the house
here is a broom
if you want to stay
clean this room
The apparition was quiet
this was not what he expected
to be a servant
and to be rejected
Leaving the house
vowing never to return
better to haunt alone
a lesson learned

Oblivious to the diverticulitis attack
the dog let out a fart
being a schmo
he thought it was art
The man called for help
retching as he began to bend
food pouring out
when will it end
The trail is long
day is hot
the dog jumps out
looking at the rot
Deciding to be faithful
he quickly ran for help
the rangers found him
when the dog started to yelp
First aid administered
the man is fine
sitting in bar
relaxing with beer and wine

Goodbye to the old year
hello to the new
time for squirrel adventures
racing in the morning dew
Tis the season of renewal
time to have some fun
new seed in the bird feeders
humans to out run
A new brass feeder hangs
a gift from St. Nick
think that glass will stop me
a thrown rock broke it like a brick
Seed dropping to the ground
the human is running
watching that expression
the humor is stunning
Ah a new year
no need to hide
my cheeks filled with seed
2021 is going to be a fun ride

Let me in! Let me in!
cried the bee
the sun is scorching
feel the window to see
The plant next to the window
has a cool leaf
a flower blooming
a place of relief
Tapping hard
the glass will not move
legs stuck to the window
sliding down to the groove
Buzzing now
begging for help
sun getting hotter
beginning to melt
A ray of hope
a hole in the screen
edging through it
cool and redeemed
On the flower now
restored and in a sweet slumber
cool drafts flow through the leaves
content in the summer

Trapped within a cage
the spectators voices shrilly
mimicking their movements
acting silly
Shiny baubles
oh so close
carefully watching
as the spectators boast
Ignoring the sign
saying not to touch
calling to them
the temptation is too much
A woman approaches
with a small child
I mimic their gestures
my behavior is mild
The candy is close
almost within my grasp
trying to be cool
letting a small time elapse
Got it!
the woman begins to scream
pulling the child back
dropping his ice cream
The candy is mine
I will do it again
enjoying my prize
as the crowd grows thin

Sweet puppy
name is Grace
filled with energy
life is a race
Out of the sky
ice was falling
with great fervid strength
Grace found her calling
Leaping into the air
not to be outdone
grabbing the ice cube
she began to run
Oh such fun
flipping each piece in the air
jumping delightfully
dancing with a flair
Added grass
just a little flavor
each piece melting
hardly waiting to savor
As soon as it starts
the falling ice is over
time to lie down
taking a minute to recover
Oh the life of a puppy
it is so grand
learning new things
happiness across the land

Gathering close to the water
scintilla of mischief in the air
fresh rain produced mud
adventure with a flair
Coming closer
mom turned around
siblings near
close to the ground
Siblings close to the puddle
excitement in my eyes
just one push
will ire arise
Pushing the first one
oh so much fun
hit face first
the others begin to run
Getting up
my sibling chases me
running through the mud
sounds of glee
Mom grabs my neck
then we both fall
covered with mud
silliness for all
Chided into the lake
dunked until clean
adventure was fun
should have heard them scream
Quiet now
lying in the shade
mom watching closely
mischief well played

The small duckling looked around
his family not found
seeing a mother goose
to a game he became bound
He spoofed the goose
integrated into her nest
everything going well
it was a good place to rest
Time to get up
the mother goose called
goslings and the duckling fell in line
each having a ball
Leaving the nest
closer to the water they came
each got in
the duckling thought it was a wonderful game
His mother spotted him
calling his name
with cursory speed she swam
quacking he should be ashamed
The mothers metÂ
not amused by his spoof
each gave a lecture
expressions of reproof
The duckling swam home
he quacked with fake shame
climbed into the nest
having enjoyed his game

Vacation is coming
time to drive my car
Piper thinks she is driving
the destination is far
The car is packed
time to get in
sitting in the back
opportunity is thin
Then it happens
Piper sees where I dropped her keys
the car is running
I jump to the driver’s seat on my knees
Into the driver’s seat
locking the door in an instant
steering wheel in front of me
moving the car a short distance
Piper running
rushing with the key
pulling the emergency brake
stopping the car immediately
Jumping to the back seat
relishing the moment at hand
thrill of driving a car
my hoax is legendary across the land
