Game...Set...MATCH!! :-)


Poem Artwork

You thought you had me where you wanted me.
Well, you were wrong, bucko!
The battle's just begun, just watch and see.
Score:  Me, one.  You:  Zero.

You thought you threw the last pitch of the game.
It was a wild throw!
I'm ahead, you will remember my name.
Score:  Me, two.  You:  Zero.

You thought that you had me down for the count.
I gave you the heave-ho!
The score against you is starting to mount.
Score:  Me, three.  You:  Zero.

You thought that you would pin me to the mat.
Whoops, wrong again, kiddo!
Watch my moves, Baby, I'm just like a cat.
Score:  Me, four.  You:  Zero.

You thought I was cheating?  Who's cheating here?
You are lower than low!
I.  Will.  Not.  Quit.  It is me you will fear.
Score:  Me, five.  You:  Zero.

You thought you'd injured me once and for all.
You think you're so macho!
I may be slow, but I survived the fall.
Score:  Me, six.  You:  Zero.

You thought I would fold and show you my cards.
Well, well, that shows me what YOU know!
Let me show you your plot in the grave yard.
Score:  Me, seven.  You:  Still Zero!

Sometimes we just have to pile on the points to reassert who we are.

My son has a cat! A kitten has been hanging around the base, so the boys adopted him, named him Gunny Dog! He's a kitten. I think in my next package I send for my son I am sending cat treats.....have no idea what to send, I have dogs.......but i will ask in the pet shop. Maybe this is a guardian angel cat! I hope so.
