I was about to switch off the lights but something didn't let me,
Gently, a wind touched me and stopped me,
Not someone, but something just appeared in front of my eyes,
He was blue as the bright sky,
I got satisfaction when he gave me a prize,
I don't know why he gave me a prize,
It was shiny as the sunlight in my eyes,
I was shaking and suddenly I looked at the corner of my eye,
Something in the dark was moving,
It terrified me as it had
No eyes, no nose, no legs, it was just floating,
As I heard whispering behind me.

«Switch your dog for my cat?»
I repeatedly asked,
But no-one would agree.
«Go on,» I said,
«He's as good as gold,
He'll change your life, you'll see!»
But why would I want
To switch my cat?
I hear the reader ask.
The answer is simple:
Frank my cat
Is an absolute
Pain in the ______!
He whines when we sleep,
He begs when we eat,
He fights other cats,
He gets into scraps.
What I want from a pet
Is 100 percent satisfaction
GUARANTEED.
So switch your dog for my cat,
I'm begging you,
PLEASE!

The switch from Winter to Spring
Always brings me a grin.
The satisfaction of flower beds of velvet
Is all I really need.
Bees buzzing
Birds tweeting
I wish this season was never ending.
Honey on bees
Sap on trees
Tangy oranges straight from leaves.
I love the Spring
But it has to leave.
