A Simple Prayer

Dawn

Sunrise

I pray this bottle
capped up so tight
will loosen up
So I can jug tonight
If you can hear me
Though cats are held low
can you slap some sense
into that Paparazzo?

“Well? Did you feel anything?”

Water, but not enough to irrigate

“Stupid water!”

Cloudy night

Asleep At The Wheel

Sunrise through Resa’s Tree

Sunrise on the Lonsome Sunflower

Spunk asleep at the wheel.

Good Old Beaker. According to the bird age calculator, Beaker is 155 years old in human years.

I stood up for a second, and Marble appeared in my chair.

Cheese line waiting for Loki to finish. Loki thought it was lip-licking good.

Spunk gloving

Sunset

Cheetah in the clouds

Social Disease

Lyrics by Burnie Taupin. Music by Elton John. Vocals by Timothy Price

Social Disease is on Elton John’s Yellow Brick Road album, released in 1973. While I never drank, smoked, or did illegal drugs when I was a teenager (and still don’t), I loved Social Disease because I could relate to it as my peers thought I was a weirdo. Many teachers and principals told my mom I would grow up to be a no-good-for-nothing social disease. I never rebelled against my parents. I didn’t need to. They left me alone to take care of the animals and the house and irrigate the property through my teen years. But I rebelled against authority and public school. I hated both with a passion.

Loki: “Reach out and touch someone with a social disease!”

Marble: “Where’s the cheez?” Loki: “Concetrate hard!” Silver; “¡Milagro!”

June 8th Cheez Standoff

Glenda: “Ahem! Read my tongue, Paparazzo. A spot of cheez would be mighty tasty.

“I see that deaf, dumb, and blind Paparazzo is no Cheez Whiz. He’s ignoring me!”

“Abra Catdabra
Fiddling feet
Expose yourself cheez
And give me a treat!”

“Whoa! It worked! Back off, Marble!

Sweet dreams are made of these!
