If You Want...

If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never say it's not quite as good as his mother's...

...then adopt a dog.

If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want...

...then adopt a dog.

If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't care
about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies...

...then adopt a dog.

If you want someone who is content to get on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores...

..then adopt a dog !

If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves
you unconditionally, perpetually ...

... then adopt a dog.

BUT, on the other hand, if you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night and only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness ....

...then adopt a cat.

Cats and dogs here.  No hair.  Honest.

New Manatees and a Return of the Rhyme

I'm partial to the manatee,
which emanates no vanity.
It swims amidst anemones
and hasn't any enemies.

My charms swim here.

An Ode to the Manatee

A Manatee poem from Jack Prelutsky and a charm from me:



I'm partial to the manatee,
which emanates no vanity.
It swims amidst anemones
and hasn't any enemies.

Horses and Black Cats and Fishies, Oh My

This week tiny black cats crept into my studio, followed by a herd of wild stallions and some tropical fish singing to the sound of steel drums. I managed to lead them to my ebay store, where they plan to entertain the other charmed creatures there.
