Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

Today's 4 word challenges are 
rain, run, ruin, rabbit

Is you a rabbit: a true story


When my sis was a wee girl of about two
there was a ritual all must keep.
 After her teeth were brush and feets
were in her jammies way down deep,
She would run to her bed
Prop her head on her pillow
I'm ready she said.
I've selected a special book that must be read.
Neither rain nor wind would ruin reading time.
As mom read sis's eyes got heavy, the sandman
was close. For a few extra minutes,  mom sat trying to be still.
Mom felt a sneeze about escape against her will
Oh no she thought this surely wake sleepyhead.
Mom *wiggled her nose trying to ward off the explosion.
Sis was a tease often playing 'possum with mom.
She gently touched mom on the arm and said
Mommy is you a *rabbit?
Laughter erupted throughout the room.


UPDATES on Pilling and eating and such

I WON BIG TIME. 
Monday night  MOM mad a special trip to the grocery story to buy a package of lean hamburglar (that is what my sis called hamburger when she was a wee girl).  She divided it into 4 parts and froze it individually.  She browned a portion, drained it and cooled it.  About the time my nose got a whiff of the meat cooking, Mom bellowed Madi come quickly .I ran so fast my whiskers were blowing.
It was my very first tasted of hamburglar in my life and I love it.
I get it as a treat one time a day.  Mom thinks it might stimulate my appetite.


Pilling is no easier.  Yesterday Mom literally took matters into her own paws.
First she hid my pepcid in some Purina soft chicken treats.  I ate them w/o even noticing
Then she put my my daily dose of  cerenia pill (1/2 tablet) in the soft treats.  All we can say is that must be one smelly pill 'cause one sniff of them and I tucked my tail and ran like the wind.
I heard Dad says well what are you gonna do?  Mom say, I will get the pill in her one way or the other. I just haven't decided how.  She went into her bag of tricks, pulled out a tube of
LaxaNip(for hairballs) which I love. She buried the pill in big glob in a teaspoon .I heard her coming too late.  She had a most determined look on her face.  She picked me up, sat me on the vanity in the master bath, shut the door (that is never a good sign). She got my mouth open and in one swift move she got the glob of LaxNip off the spoon with her finger and on the back of my tongue before I could
say Meow!
Moral to this story is when a Mom is on a mission nothing will stop her.
Ruby and Summer mom has joined the ranks of the moms who poke their fingers down our throats.
She says to thank you moms for being the trendsetters!

  2. Mama giggled at your poem today Madi...when she was a little girl she would never go to sleep without a story!

    Sorry your Mama had to be so very rude about your pill, but she only does it 'cause she loves you!

  4. I agree with you, when they close the door we better should run... that IS sure no good sign ;o)

  5. Your human is as determined as mine is! She gets pills down whichever kitty needs them, and won't take no for an answer.

  7. Oh my. Oh my oh my. That was not fairly done I think. Even if you do need the medicine. Perhaps she should listen to another song from Mary Poppins? A spoon full of sugar?

  12. Is You a Rabbit is a fun poem! Wiggling your nose got you asked if you were a rabbit... hahah! I know it is crazy but I don't remember my parents reading to me. They must have because I love reading. I wish someBODY would tell me I could have hamburger once a day! I hope you enjoy the hamburger, Madi. I think you better just submit to the pill takin' Madi cause your Mom is determined!

  13. How awful for you, Madi! I have never had a pill poked down my throat before. Maybe it's because I'm too much of a chowhound☺

  17. That is such a fun poem,Madi. Your Mom sounds like she would be a good candidate for the lead role on Bewitched.

    Too bad about the fingers down the throat approach, but Mom says whatever works is what has to be.

  20. We thought your Mom was going to bury the pill in the hamburglar meat. Sometimes SHE just has to wrestle with us to do the poke and cheese method.

  21. After The Hubby pills Chuck, he gives him a big hug for a long time. Chuck doesn't like being held, but he allows the hug. It's their wee bonding time, so there aren't any hard feelings.

  22. We loved your poem!
    Your mom did great getting your pills into you. I mean, it's not nice to be tricked, but you HAVE to take them, Madi!
    Cammie!

  23. We loved your story about the bed time story. Sorry to hear your mom had to resort to shoving her finger down your throat but it is good for you so we have to also say "Well done mom".

  24. That was a great poem/story, very cute. I am glad you like hamburger. When I used to poke my fingers in Phoebe's mouth to pill her, she would chomp down and it hurt. XO

  25. Ugh. We hate when the mom pushes pills down our throats too, Madi. But one thing she does do is give us treats afterwards to help us forget about getting the pill. We're gonna ask the mom to cook up some hamburgler for us sometime.

  26. My son and daughter-in-law read to our granddaughter (19 months old) each night before bed. It is always the sweetest time to get to watch them together. I stick the boys pills down their throats if they get wise to my hidden tricks.

  28. Ghostwriter would make boiled ground beef with barley and vegies for Joey dog when he decided to not eat much anymore. She used the fattier kind of ground beef so he would get more calories. Most of the time he liked it a lot. I'm glad you're taking all your medicine now. Sorry that it doesn't always taste so good, though.
