Pearl

                                                                      My name is Pearl       

I'm a pearl of a girl

Thoughtful and calm

Never been a mom

Excuse me while I hurl.

That Was That

Kat the Cat

Matt the Bat

and

Pat the Rat

Chased a Gnat

Just to have a Chat

They all Sat

In a moose's Hat

That was the end of That.

Parenthood

Imagine that this cute little kitty - your kitty - and let's call her "Hazel", left a piece of poop on your front step, using it to communicate that she is out of there. Every few weeks, you catch a glimpse of her in the distance. Okay, good. She looks healthy and happy. How wonderful, but you still feel lonesome without her. Months and months go by in the same way. Then one day she is back, as if she had never been gone. After a time, you relax and get back into that old comfort zone. You forget. Of course, Hazel leaves again, only this time without the little poop message. It might be for good this time. Welcome to the world of parenthood.
