RUSTY
Resting on the window sill
Under the curtains
Sleeping all day
Talking in cat language
Yawning at humans

Legs In The Air by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentWhat have you been eating Brock?
That is causing quite a stink
Was it green and red?
Or yellow, brown and pink?
What have you been eating Brock?
The smell is really bad
Was it a piece of carrot cake?
You stole from snoring Dad
What have you been eating Brock?
The whole house it does reek
Was it from the garbage bin
That’s been sitting there all week
What have you been eating Brock?
Your gastric juices churning
One whiff and we will leave the room
Today not be returning
Brock, your plan is very clever
As you work your inner gut
To get your favourite seat at home
You whistle out your butt

Jazz by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentI looked down at the dishwasher
And there I saw
A furry head with her tongue
In the door
She was licking away
And before I knew
All the dishes
Looked brand new
The plates were sparkling
Knives and forks shining
Mans best friend
Full from dining
She sat there contented
Licking her feet
Her eyes asked the question
What’s next to eat?

12 Days of Dogness by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentOn the first day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
Last years Christmas stocking
In the bottom was a pea
On the second day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A chewed up Christmas decoration
For our brand new tree
On the third day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A dug up bone from last year
And dumped it by my knee
On the fourth day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
An old Santa hat
Found under the old settee
On the fifth day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A bit of Christmas cake
To go with my cup of tea
On the sixth day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A striped candy cane
Stolen from the tree
On the seventh day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A string of Christmas lights
He thought needed to be freed
On the eighth day of Christmas
My doggy bought to me
A potato from the vegie patch
One less for Christmas tea
On the ninth day of Christmas
My doggy bought to me
A freshly baked mince pie
And eyes that pleaded “feed me”
On the tenth day of Christmas
My doggy bought to me
An old nativity book
Pages ripped out for me to see
On the eleventh day of Christmas
My doggy bought to me
Santa’s special cookies
Left out for Santa’s feed
On the twelfth day of Christmas
My doggie bought to me
A heart of Christmas cheer
Which was really all I need

“The Singing Spaniel” by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentLee and Jazz
On the grass
Ukulele in hand
Learning fast
Tune in the air
Jazz’s ears prick
She starts to sing
Learning real quick
Songs in the garden
Float down the street
A boy and his dog
Sounding so sweet
A bond forged in music
A love made to last
The sounds of friendship
In music is cast

Scoot Scoot by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentScoot Scoot
Said the scooter
Shining in the sun
Time for me
To have some fun
Zoom Zoom
Said the scooter
Rider and helmet ready
Today we go fast
But take it steady
Whoosh Whoosh
Said the scooter
Down the street
Feet on kickboard
Who can we beat?
Zip Zip
Said the scooter
What a fun day
Zooming along
Smiling all the way
Jump Jump
Said the scooter
Trying a trick
Up in the air
And down real quick
Ring Ring
Said the scooter
A loud ring of the bell
Turn and head back
All is well
Yawn Yawn
Said the scooter
I’ve had a big day
Time to go home
Slowly make my way
Shuffle Shuffle
Said the scooter
Trudging back to the shed
Time for scooters
To be in scooter bed
Snooze Snooze
Said the scooter
Snoring away
Dreaming of tomorrow
Another scooter day
The Knitters Club by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentEight year olds
With needles in hand
Wool under arms
A little craft band
Sit in a circle
At lunch break
On the oval
Life is great
This craft of old
Will never die
With these mini grannies
Knitting on high

Yesterday Today by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentYesterday we had bacon and eggs for breakfast
Today was Coco Pops
Yesterday we had an apple for morning tea
Today was fairy floss
Yesterday we had pumpkin soup for lunch
Today was hot chips
Yesterday we had Greek yogurt for an afternoon snack
Today was a Mars Bar
Yesterday we had a roast chicken dinner with veggies
Today was a Happy Meal from McDonald’s
Yesterday we had homemade apple pie for dessert
Today was a chocolate donut
Yesterday we watched the footy with carrot sticks and dip
Today we watched with a big bucket of popcorn
Yesterday my mum was home all day
Today my dad was in charge of food
I wonder what we will eat tomorrow?

What a Beautiful Day by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentThe dog went out in the sunshine
And soaked up all the rays
It looked up into the sky
And barked ” What a beautiful day”
The cat went out in the sunshine
And pranced around a bit
Turned around and went inside
In the window sill to sit
The dog stayed out in the sunshine
In circles chasing his tail
He was not going back inside
Sun rain or hail
The cat stayed in the window sill
Watching the world go by
Grinning at the silly dog
A scratch a lick a sigh

Moonlight by Jeanie Axton
Leave a commentMoonlight
The light of the moon
On a clear clear night
Brings out the Fish
But not to bite
Leaping out of the water
Higher each time
Teasing the fishermen
Is not a fish crime?
Meeting in the river
Holding fish school
Teaching the young ones
How not to be fooled
Big ones and small ones
Middle-sized fish
None of these beauties
Will end up on a dish
By the light of the moon
On a bright clear night
Not one fish caught
Not one little bite
