Thoroughly Poetic Thursday with Sammy
Today's post is brought to you by the letter
W
Today we are going to "TRY" to write about....
Whiskers
Can be long, short, curly and prickly.
I once had a friend who was called Mr. Whiskers...he was not picky,
My whiskers are well known and have been shown
disguised as an antenna on a railroad.
My whiskers are long not curly they sprout from my jowls
and my browse.
Dad has whiskers that can be rather prickly.
It has been my life's work to snoopervise his morning routine.
As he shaves his whiskers I by sit on the potty lid.
At the Blogville Awesome Retreat in June my dad realized his
Edge whisker cream was running low
My friends Frankie, Ernie and the Crabby Girls heard this, they said OH NO....
It became their mission to remedy this omission
They stop at the drug store they looked high and low and finally
the Crabby girls clacked their claws with delight...
they found just what they wanted Nieva cream.
It is smooth and creamy and goes on just right.
And when he kisses his girls at night...
they squeal with delight!!
Side note: Photo above was the first time I snoopervised Dad
with the new cream.
Dad used the same shaving cream (Edge) for 87 years.
I was amazed he would try something new!!

Lots of uses for those whiskers, even as an antenna. Good for you Madi, snoopervising the Dad with his new shaving cream. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteI loved the idea with the whisker-antenna.... have your daddy's trains names? like that orient-eggs-press or the racing roland? maybe your dad can name the train after you?
ReplyDeleteGreat poem Madi!
ReplyDeleteMum still laffs at the photos of me as a baby pup 'cos I haf whiskers sprouting out in all directions, I look like an alien!
Loves and licky kisses

PeeS The ceiling still isn't fixed, uh oh!
MOL we love your whisker antenna. We had our Dad get that Nivea after you told us about it and he LOVES it!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
your guy Raz and The Florida Furkids
Yep, your dad could totally never get by without you.
ReplyDeleteThat is an ingenious use of your whisker Madi. Dad is a smart man.
ReplyDeleteSmooth and soft skin are much better for kisses.
You are a wonderful poet!
ReplyDeleteFabulous Poem... and we LOVED the Pawt about your Dad... we suppose trying a NEW Shave Cream made him a bit EDGEY... butt with YOU right by his side he gave it a go. THIS Post brought back all the Fabulous Memories From our time at BAR. That time just WHISKED away so fast. All the plans that Went so SMOOTH... Except fur the excessive heat... that had us all LATHERED up. We were all DRAINed by the heat butt meeting everybuddy in the furs was COOL. Everybuddy was so BUBBLY.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling Mara to use some of my hair in her knitting, but she thinks it's a bit silly. I will show her your antenna photo and that way she knows it is NOT silly!!
ReplyDeleteMiss Oswin from Norway
You have some cool whiskers. We sure are jealous. Ours are teeny
ReplyDeleteLily & Edward
Oh Madi that is another really super poem. We can almost hear you and Mom squealing with delight at receiving a whiskery kiss from your Dad.
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
Berte (and Gail).
That was a fun poem! Ghostwriter gets mad when Dad leaves his whisker trimmings around the bathroom sink. She says he always does this right AFTER she has cleaned it!
ReplyDeletesometimes we are forced by circumstances to use something NEW and then when we do we love it. this worked out great for all of you... Jake lays in the hall and watches, he can't sit on the commode and our bathroom is so small there is nothing left but the tub. MOL....
ReplyDeleteYour whiskers are beautiful, Madi! They keep making us change the things we are used to and it gives me a cranky! Reading your poem helped my cranky go away!
ReplyDeleteMOL, Madi. Love it. Golden Woofs, SUGAR
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this poem! WHISKERS - what a GREAT subject for "W".....now what are you gonna do about "X"???? HMMMM???????? Love the whisker antenna on the car....tee hee.

W is for wonderful - that's what we think about your poem:)
ReplyDeleteWoos -Lightning and Misty
Oh Madi, your whiskers and your dad's whiskers are NOT the same thing, even though they have the same name and both grow out from under one's nose! Such a cute poem about it all, tho!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! wonderful Whisker Poem!! Our dad has prickly whiskers too!
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey, Hazel & mabel
That was fun that your whisker was used for an antenna.
ReplyDeleteThat was a perfect poem about whiskers. Maybe you were sniffing the new cream so much because you could smell Frankie & Ernie?

Your poem is wonderful, Madi!
ReplyDeleteWhiskers sure help make our world a better place sweet Madi!
ReplyDeleteWe heard that it was a special time for you and your dad. Good thing all your friends saved the day at BAR! We got some snow today. Mom went to the dentist and no cavities but dad had a tiny one. His furst one in 25+ years! Mom ordered a special thingie today and will get it Saturday. It is to help her bursitis when she is at her computer.
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,

Madi1 Darling grrl Furrend!
ReplyDeleteYous got the prettiest whiskers!
How cool one is a car antenna!
Many kisses

That was a great poem, Madi. You included all sorts of whiskers.
ReplyDeleteOMD, that was such a FABulous poem gurl!!!! And, I loves that you snoopervise your Pops with sharp objects. This is VERY impawtent! Peeps have a tendency to do damage to themselves without our keen watch. or....maybe it's just my Ma. and NO, no I did NOT bump into her and cause her to stab herself with the box cutter. it's just a nasty rumor....
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Ruby ♥
What a fantabuous Whisker poem!!!
