Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone!  We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop 

Sammy is thankful to have a break from his cone. I am thankful to have electricity. Apparently many others waited even more than 3 days to get theirs back.

We are also joining  Sammy’s Poetry Day. Here is my poem to go with this photo prompt provided by Teddy’s mom:

He used to deliver the milk every week,

he had a certain kind of mystique.

I may be going out on a limb,

but a lot of kids in town sure looked like him.*
*For anyone to young to understand the joke- read this on Wikipedia. 
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

  2. Sammy such a lovely photo. That poem made me chuckle too! I definitely got that joke

  3. We laffed and laffed at your poem! It was spectacular! We we are already thinking about the fill-ins!

  7. HAHAHAHAHA – that was a fabulous poem…..and it wouldn’t surprise me if there were a lot of little kids in town growing up with a mysterious “need” to be milkmen/women when they grew up! Glad you have your power back – let’s hope that doesn’t EVER happen again.

    Hugs, Teddy and Mom

  9. Love the poem and glad to know your power is back. We only had to endure a day and a half at the worst in the past years.

  12. My mother’s children all looked very different and she would tell people “there was a different milkman every year” LOL But I still read about it on the wikipedia …. I didn’t realize it was a “thing” like that

  13. Good for you Sammy, I’m glad you are cone-free. So sorry about the electricity, that isn’t nice on a hot summer, not nice at all! I love the milkman reference, our milkman was a red head and my brother had red hair when he was born – my Dad used to tease Mom all the time – thankfully, my bro looked exactly like my Dad once he grew up.

  15. I’m thankful for those two things too. Those cones are awful and being without electricity is more than awful.

    I love your poem and I laughed out loud.

    I’m all ready for the Friendly Fill-ins.

    Have a fabulous Thankful Thursday, Ellen. Scritches to all the kitties. ♥

  16. Terrific thankfuls, hooray for cone-free time Sammy! Love that poem, too funny. Thanks for joining our Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

  20. Ha Ha – your poem made our Mom laugh right out loud:)

    Glad Sammy is without his cone. Misty’s reappears tomorrow.

    Woos, Lightning, Misty, and Timber

  30. Hooray for Sammy, i am glad he is doing better.

    Your poem is fabulous! When Little Girl was born, she didn’r really look like either of us, and so Sweetie said she looked like the mailman. Laughing, i pointed out that as much as i liked Mr. Benny, our mailman at the time, who was a good Christian and a friend, she was obviously not biracial so it couldn’t be him!

  31. Hello, handsome Sammy! We’re so glad you’re getting a break from that cone of shame. The last time a kitty at our house wore a cone was when Tonks wore it after her spay, and she always looked so sad and pathetic when wearing it. We hope you stay free of that cone, Sammy! And your poem really had me laughing!

  34. Oh the cone is something no one seems to like very much, but it does help you heal. Always my pleasure to stop by and say hello. Have a wonderful Friday. HUGS across the miles

    I am very late because I Put the birthday post up for my SIL Zach and his twin sister. He gave me the cutest photos so I shared them here: https”//mytatascottage.blogspot.com
