Let’s Get Poetic! (and Thankful too!)
First of all, may I say that not only are we poetic today but we’re also THANKFUL – and we join with Brian’s Blog for that happy occasion – while we’re at it, HAPPY GOTCHA DAY Brian!
Happy Poetry Day! Today we celebrate the letter “B”………………there are a Bazillion words that start with B……picking just one was a trip I tell ya!
“Bacon”
By Angel Sammy Kimmell, 12/22/16
I think that I shall never see
Anything as beautiful as this particular “B”
Bacon makes my world go round
I could eat it by the pound……….!
King of Bacon on Earth and The Bridge
I’ve got it stocked up in my refrig!
That salty crispness I totally crave
Yes I’m addicted – I’m Bacon’s SLAVE…..
Breakfast, lunch and dinner too
Its gotta be pork cuz turkey won’t do!
Now I just bet you all KNEW I’d write about Bacon for “B” right? In fact, I just bet a bunch of us write about Bacon since I have discovered through the years that I’m not the only one who loves the stuff………even the turkey stuff which is better for you BUT………..!!
I hope everyone is ready for the holiday because it’s HERE………….that’s right – in just a couple of days Santa Paws will be coming down chimneys all around the world so at this point I’m pretty sure that those of you who have been NAUGHTY are out of luck to turn things around…………just means you have to try harder next year. Being on Santa’s NICE list means lots of new toys and foodables and maybe blankies, etc. Up at the Bridge, we don’t get presents (even though Santa DOES come visit us before he heads down to visit all of YOU on Christmas Eve!)………..we get a special PASS that allows us to not just visit our families back home for a little while like we do all the time – but to spend the night Christmas Eve and stay Christmas morning……that’s so we can see them enjoying their holiday and remember what it was like when we were there with them. You might think that would make us SAD but it doesn’t – it makes us HAPPY……..HAPPY that we were lucky enough to be with them for as long as we were. After all, a “FOREVER HOME” really is forever because even after we’re gone to the Bridge, that home is in our hearts FOREVER.
If you wrote a poem today and want to share it, just post your blog link in my comments and we’ll come read it OR you can post your poem in my comments – then we can just read it here! I bet there are some good “B” poems! Let’s hear yours!
Oui Oui! I am zee poet and I truly know it!
Monsieur Angel Sammy
BACON: of course, what else?! Crispy, crunchy. You are making me want to head to the kitchen for … BACON!
You sound quite happy over the bridge and we are glad to know that … even though you are missed here.
We tried (tried being the key word) to write a “bee poem” today, for a friends birthday … truth be told, we did not succeed … sigh.
But wanted to come by here anyway and say “hi and meowy Christmas” to you and your family. Love “Us”

We miss our homes even though we are in our humans’ hearts always.
