Thankful and Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #269

Thankful Thursday hosted

For a very thoughtful and kind neighbor, Jane

Recently she texted to ask if I had piereced ears.

(I giggled a bit I've known her 30 years...I guess she never noticed my ears)

I replied yes, she said her sister in law gave her these Napier silver pierced earrings. 

She said, I only wear gold.   If you like them, they are YOURS.

Her sister in law lives out of state I guess she doesn't see Jane enough to know her preference.

WIN WIN for me.

I SAID absolutely, I wear silver, white gold or yellow gold.  thank you.

In the summer it is hot,
My couch is where I lounge.
I have to air my undercarriage
'cause it is sticky, sweaty and smelly.
I hope my feline sister doesn't
find me...
She likes to crouch and pounce on my bits and pieces
OUCH!

  4. Oh pretty earrings. I'm not particular when it comes to silver or gold either.
    Love the poem and I can relate to how that dog feels with the heat we've had here.. At least I don't have to worry about cats pouncing on bits and pieces though...lol

  15. You have a very dear neighbor :) I don't have pierced ears but I converted a few. I love silver and even have a white gold wedding band so I guess you can see where my tastes lie. It's so funny but my niece is the same way. I found this out years later. That was a very cute poem you wrote and the photo of the pup was a hoot!

  17. Sweaty and smelly... ick. I think I had enough of that with horses. Although I loved their smell. Your neighbor, it's nice she thought of you.

  18. Cute poem, even if...OUCH!
    Am the only sibling with pierced ears, so I inherited my grandmother's jewelry.
    When I win the lottery...note to self: play the lottery...I'll get her stuff reset so they are more comfortable.
