T’Day Counting Down

JM:

Good morning, Toby!

It’s almost Thanksgiving Day

What thanks do you have?

Toby:

Those cans of cat food

Make a blissful retirement 

What about your thanks?

JM:

Hmmmm, where do I start?

Family, friends, food, and shelter 

Are atop my list

Toby:

Let me see…oh yes

Fish, chicken, turkey, liver

Also mice and rats

JM:

Arrgh, oh dear, oh dear

I forgot your hunting days

At the Bolding farm…

Toby:

…I ran wild with dogs

While you and society

Dealt with worldly cracks

JM:

Ah, those worldly days

Now you are a retiree

Do I hear purring?

Toby:

I am thankful for

rescues atop that farm tree

two times, happily 

JM:

Me too, my old friend

for the wintertime kindness

those arborists gave

Toby:

Kindness wins the day

loner me or social you

feels its warm blessings

JM & Toby:

Thank you!
