Soft Fur and Sharp Claws

Cool.
I have some stuff that's been published, can't post that here, I'll get m'self in trouble.
But some other things...
Like this:

For Nori
Well the rain is falling gently
Making patterns on the windshield.
And the tires are hissing softly,
They blend nicely with the sound
Of the jazz that's on the radio.
A sax is moaning sad and low.

And as the sun breaks through the clouds
I'm reminded of your smile.

I read this a few days ago & it's what inspired me to post some of my own stuff. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Smile

I wrote this after Dr. Suess died, in his honor. Yes it's silly, I can't be a grumpy old man All the time!

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I have looked under my bed
I even searched the old tool shed

They are not in the frying pan
They are not hanging on the fan

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I asked the postman and a cop
I even called the coffee shop

I did not leave them in my car
I did not leave them at the bar

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I'm going to be late for work
I'm running around like a jerk

I cannot go with ankles bare
Everyone would point and stare

I searched the kitchen and the loo
I even called my best friend Sue

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I cannot find my favorite socks
The ones with little purple dots

I've looked under all the chairs
I searched up and down stairs

They are not under the computer
I'm ready to call Roto-Rooter

My favorite purple socks are lost
I wonder what new ones will cost

Perhaps I'll go and buy a dozen
And keep a spare pair in the oven
