I’m getting a cat

To eat all my rats

Those big fat rats

Now my cat is fat

And eats no more more rats

For there are no more rats in my flat

I’m getting a cat

Hope it doesn’t ruin my fancy mat

…on my mat it spat

Then ran away, and into the wall it went splat

I got a cat

It jumped on my lap as I sat

So I gave it a pat

I think I will get it a cute hat

My cat does not say a word, it will not chat

All flowers have the potential to bloom

Perhaps some more than others

But all have the chance

The potential

To be something more

Than just a plant

Than just a weed

But to bring more beauty

To the world around them

To make someone smile

Lift someone up

Help those in need

The potential resides within all of them

You can never know for sure...

Children see bees

As small

Yet scary

Frightening things

Angry attackers

Bernard: hello old friend.

Princess Sparkles: Oh hello, nice to see you. How’s life been treating you?

Bernard: same old, same old. And you?

Princess Sparkles: nothing much. Nothing exciting happens to us dogs when we’re this age.

Bernard: ain’t that the truth! Sometimes I wish I was more like them humans, living out my life like there ain’t no tomorrow. Alas, Karla needs me, and what could I ...

It happened again

I’ve been here before

Done these same things

Said the same words

Sometimes I can tell what’s ahead

Just a glimpse

Of what will happen next

I know what happens as it happens

Because I’ve been here before

But sometimes

It’s different

Then what I expect

Not the same things

Not the same words

Yet this is the same, I know

So how?

How is it different?...
