Happy Thursday! Thankful one too……and we are always thankful just to arrive at another Thursday. Time moves so quickly – my Mom and Dad said so!! I’m thankful that SO FAR when they say “snow” it hasn’t – BUT I think that my luck is running out because we could get 6-9 inches of it this weekend. EEEK. I’ll try to be thankful for how pretty it is when it falls though. It’s the least I can do. If you’d like to share your THANKFULS on Brian’s Hop, just click his badge above and join us!
Now, one more bit of business to conduct THEN I’ll show you the poem Angel Sammy emailed me last night from the Rainbow Bridge. Yesterday’s TUESDAY TEASER TELL ALL we missed out on a cheer from the School Cheer Team – why? Because they always have a tough time with a cheer when there are a BUNCH of winners. We had FOUR FIRST COMMENTERS and – well – they were writing a cheer but fell asleep in their hot tub. SHAME ON THEM – so we didn’t have their cheer in time for class. Here’s the cheer they came up with.
Gosh, I’m not sure this particular cheer was WORTH waiting for!
Now onward to the second half of today’s blog which is sharing Angel Sammy’s THOROUGHLY POETIC THURSDAY poetry.
♥♥♥
Happy Poetry Day Everyone!
Did you write one this week? Oh I hope you did! It’s a pretty funny photo and hopefully it inspired some of you to write a poem – maybe for the first time or maybe not but at least I hope you had fun with it. Every Thursday I give you a photo to inspire you to write a poem – – – and at the end of my poem today you’ll get another photo for NEXT Thursday! If you’ve written a poem this week, let us know in Comments and we’ll come visit you to read it.
“Poor Pitiful Me”
Poem by Angel Sammy Kimmell January 9, 2019
I can’t believe this is the only costume they had
I wouldn’t be in this fix if I’d listened to my Dad!
He told me to go pick a costume up way before the party
But as usual I ignored him thinking I was such a smarty.
Now here I sit on the sidewalk while people laugh and stare
I might as well be sitting here in my underwear!
I’m gonna be late for the party now and my girlfriend’s gonna fuss
Because my costume was too big and they couldn’t push me into the bus!!!
HAHA…….I know it’s shorter than usual but I couldn’t resist………..it just “came to me”…………….this guy looks just so darn miserable doesn’t he? Maybe it’s summer and he can’t breath inside that thing so he’s taking a break from some kind of job where he has to wear that “Big Scrat” costume…..WHATEVER is going on it’s not good. But it did make for a fun photo to use to write a poem about.
So here’s your photo for NEXT week – let’s see what we can all do with this one shall we??
Yep – I think I’ve found another goodie for us to play around with right??? Right! So, put your best poetry ideas to paper inspired by this photo and share with us next Thursday. C’mon – you can do it. If I can, you can.
Meanwhile, hope you all are well and happy. All is well at the Rainbow Bridge – that should be no surprise to you – things are always perfect here!
Hugs and Love to You All ! Angel Sammy

I like this one Angel Sammy……..that guy in the costume is totally NOT happy but it sure makes for a fun poem. I’ll look forward to hearing from you next week my Angel Brother.
How can anyone be sad wearing a squirrel costume? It would be great for trick or treating. Walk up to the door and ring the doorbell… have the owner of the house tap on the window and tell you to GO AWAY, they only give out candy to the birds. Move along to the next house where that owner chases you off of their lawn with a BB gun. Then try to cross the street to the next house only to get run over because you kept running back and forth and back and forth to try to avoid a car. OK, maybe the squirrel costume isn’t such a good idea…

LOVE the cheer! Our names are all twinkling in lights now. Thank you team! Angel Sammy, you da bomb. You never fail! Super poem and probably right, right down to the last word you wrote. And the line of ladies under dryers really made my mom smile. She said she was sure glad those days are in the distant past. (distant past is when she was born).

Mom was having a good giggle reading your poem this morning, Sammy. Picturing that guy sitting there in his underwear instead of the costume, maybe still wearing those big old feet. MOL! We do think the cheer team needs to get their act together. Too many brewskis and too much hot tub time makes for a soggy brain. We are praying that none of us get too much snow.

Yeah the snow thing is looking more and more likely and I’m not happy about that. Mom isn’t either because WACKY DAD insists on using the snowthrower which he has NO BUSINESS wrestling with. Oh well – whatchagonnado? The Cheer Team is all about fun – we can’t get them serious EVER – so it’s either live with them like they are OR fire them and since they’re not salaried, firing wouldn’t do any good! Ya just gotta love ’em!

I feel ya, T. 6-9 inches of snow is belly-touching snow. I don’t do well with that. And Mom will usually not carry me. So rude. Good luck, buddy. Hope your belly stays warm.

Thanks Cupcake – I probably won’t be going outside beyond the front porch after the snow if it’s “belly height”……if it’s a little bit I will tippy toe around on the sidewalk though. I’m still hoping NO SNOW but I think the chances of that are ZERO.

We’re expecting snow, too, Teddy. And we agree with you – it sure can be cold, but it’s also so very pretty as it falls to the ground. Angel Sammy, your poem is so much fun!
