Trying to laugh despite the pain. :) Thanks for your prayers.


Poem Artwork


As much as you want,
The cat will do what the cat wants to do.
You'll just look foolish
Trying to get the cat to come to you.

Let sleeping dogs lie
In the spot that they chose in the first place.
If you bother them,
You might have to get stitches in your face.

Cat with furred-out tail
Does not mean that the kitty wants to play.
Leave Kitty alone
If you'd like to survive another day.

Beating a dead horse
Will not make it gallop any faster.
It will still be dead
No matter the wishes of its master.

(C) Copy written, August 2, 2004, by Karla Dorman.
