We have no staircase
An inclined treadmill might work
Kinda doubt it, though

Awesome 👍🏼

My mother's Wire-Haired Terrier
The smartest dog we had
Friendly and obedient
And smarter than my Dad

And, after her, a Westie dog
A rogue, but daft and sweet
My Dad's attempts to outwit him
They ended in defeat

I have to wear gloves when bringing the bins back in.
Stupid desert sun

Lilo takes a photograph Of a pretty sky She does this several times a day I've never asked her why

Such naturally
Lithe and effortless movement,
I observe my cat.
Not always been this way, though
Kitten was cute but clumsy

Chihuahuas are known to hold grudges
And Steve, here. I doubt that he budges
One point, I recall
Is chihuahuas are small
If he attacks, it will just feel like nudges
#limerick

When you joke about a serious issue and somebody writes a full paragraph in the comments, boring your chihuahua to death. That's what I like.

I like the "but actually" speech

All the best to you and yours

Tariff, such a nasty thing
A clumsy, stupid tool
Chaos is all it can bring
Oh no, here comes a fool

"Bring me your finest meats and cheeses, you may watch me consume them… then you will fetch me more."

Dear oh deer

✅ Perused
✅ Enjoyed

If you haven't caught this yet, please give a look and a listen. The animation is super cool and the song is one of my very favorites. ❤️

Mo is distracted
Places to go, stuff to do
Quacking to himself
"Busy as a Southern Duck"
Is not a thing, but should be

Sawdust on the floor
The glasses could be cleaner
But the drinks are cheap

#haukufeels

You're broken
You're damaged
This weird life you live
This is your nature
But I will not forgive

You're pandered
And coddled
Smell strongly of piss
Your dad didn't love you
I will not forgive

I was listening to this very song earlier!

Great minds etc

Pulling slow into the station
Locomotive hissing steam
As I leave my transportation
This whole thing feels like a dream
Find the loved one I was missing
Only having eyes for me
Rush into my arms, we're kissing
My war's over. I am free.

What a cute little cutie 🐍

Come, come sign up, child
And we'll make a man of you!
Caveat emptor

Gil's new book "Tai Chi for Waterfowl" is available practically nowhere

It's more fun when they're watching

Silent judgement dolls
But they won't tell anyone
Who would believe them?
#senryu

Anti-ninjas are not nimble
Nor are they that silent
No throwing star but a throwing cymbal
But they're still quite violent

They clump around in hobnail boots
And really love to shout
No subtlety for these vile brutes
Strange they all died out

The #vssdaily #prompt for 8/5/25 was #cymbal

Cat zooming across the bed
Just because he can

Symbols of true love
She wears on her soul and skin
She will not be swayed

#vssdaily prompt: Symbol
#Poetry #Senryu

Texting on my phone tonight
Need emojis that are right
Symbols showing how I feel
Because, with you, this is so real

Subtlety with hint of passion
Something fresh, that's still in fashion
Maybe eggplant, will that shock?
Wait a minute - I've been blocked
