The Cat and the Canary
Once there was a cat
Who loved to purr and meow
And also shared a song
With a yellow canary
And though they weren’t playful
They were truly friends.
And though they were friends
This bird and this cat
All they wanted was to be playful
And so the cat would meow
Loudly to the caged canary
And the two would sing their song.
And while it was a beautiful song
That the two shared as friends
The little yellow canary
And the pretty little cat,
While the cat continued to meow,
Found a way one day to be playful.
And now they could be playful
And sing their lovely song
While the cat continued to meow
Alongside his pretty friend
The friend of the cat
Was really a canary.
And though the canary
Enjoyed being playful
With his new friend, the cat
They continued to sing their song
And continued to be friends
While the cat continued to meow.
And while the cat continued to meow
To his pal the yellow canary
And the two became good friends
And found a way to be playful
They still sang their song
The canary and the cat.
I would love to hear the cat and his meow
As he sings his song with the yellow canary
And they become more playful and lifelong friends.
Never Mind
…And I was walking along the street
Looking for just the right thing
Are you paying attention to me?
Oh, never mind!
…I was talking on the phone with my friend
And we were making plans for the weekend.
Are you paying attention to me?
Oh, never mind!
Do you like this shirt?
Would you wear those shoes?
What do you want for supper tonight?
Oh, never mind!
Why don’t you hear me?
When will you see me?
Oh, never mind!
I am leaving you anyway.
Farewell
There are so many ways to say farewell:
Farewell, so long, adieu
Au Revoir, adios, goodbye
Cheerio, aloha, ma’a’salama
Well, you get my meaning.
Farewell is not forever, but for now
We will meet again, I am sure
So until that time arrives for us
I will simply say, “’Til then…”
