She calls me Queenie and gives me her best
She’s never a meanie, demands I take rest.
But I look out the window,
And see sights high and low. —-
A flittering “something’ catches my eye,
It might be what she calls a butterfly. —
What’s that? With a great big tail?
Climbing up the tree,
jumping – whee
What a sail!
That black thing’s a cat
M’Lady’s friend has one.
It always seems cranky
When I want to have fun.
There’s a sun in the sky,
And it’s hard on the eyes.
When it awakes, M’Lady says with a sigh,
“Sun’s up. Gotta get some exercise.”
So she bought a “scratcher tree,”
put it there in the corner.
But I want to roam free,
Perhaps I should warn her.
When she opens the door so she can go out,
I’m stealing out of here.
I’ll do some scouting round about,
Gonna have some fun this year!
*****************
I’m asking myself if I will broaden my adventures this year. If so, in what way?
Matthew 20:26: “If you want to be great, you must be the servant of all.”
I don’t think that is what Queenie has in mind, but I need to keep it in my mind. 😀

You are describing my Skooby.
“What’s that? With a great big tail?” – that’s a squirrel for Skooby. Not sure where his break neck speeds comes from when he sees one but I have two broken screed doors to prove it ( that I have left unrepaired after a few futile try)😢
Does Skooby suffer harm with his/her sail through the screen? Long hair probably safer than short hair, I guess. And yes, it is a squirrel my make believe Queenie sees. I’m not M’Lady nor M’Lady’s friend, I’m Queenie looking out to my yard. 😀
Not yet but I am always scared. Therefore I do not have the screen doors anymore.
Wise.
Some imagination there Oneta.
Thanks.
Cute! A dog at a window – classic. You can just feel the heightened awareness. Thanks for joining in.
Thanks, V.J. I’ll be back over to read some other views.
Great!
😀
maybe that means you’re to get your own Queenie 🙂
Sometimes I really long for one. I love puppies even when they grow up. 😀
They have that effect 🐶
We love our little new addition but she would never be happy as an inside little dog peeping out the window. It reminds me of my recently written story about a cat and his escape and how he is mistaken for a TIGER by a tiny teddy bear. Oh the wonder of child like creative journeying. Thank you Oneta for both memories and inspiration shared. The link if anyone wants to look is http://www.golden-rains.com and the Bear Collection…….the story is about Lionel the Lion Tamer. I believe that God indeed would encourage each one of us in 2019 to simply BE the person He has designed us to be and from that place BE MORE in 2019. Blessings to you.
Thanks, I found your bear collection of stories. A great read along story telling adventure. Do you have someone who illustrates for you?
A beautiful clear window to look out from. A cutie pooch kkeely looking, but my oh my he has plan. Better watch the door.
True, he is no longer trustworthy. His dream is drawing near. 😀
Get ready to chase😥
