every good gift received
each reminder believed
that good Lord above
is the God of great love
and our worthiness under-achieved!

Linking to Tweetspeak Poetry…scroll to see video showing how butter is made!
Introducing a bovine named Daisy
she’s a generous cow, never lazy
her milk is a dream
of rich butter cream
she gives away gallons like crazy!
If you remember the Borden cow (“Elsie”, not Daisy), you’ll enjoy this online article.

There once was a bison named Buck
who jumped in the back of a truck;
he enjoyed scenic ride
until engine died
now bison and driver are stuck.

On the beach, crawled pet tortoise named Tank
when a wave rolled, his wrinkled neck shrank
hard shell shaped like a boat
four legs paddled to float
that resourceful young tortoise ne’er sank!

Out west lived horse thief, Billy Rio
who holed-up at Ranch Armadillo
till the cavalry came
shot a slug with his name
now Bill’s buried below lone saguaro

Inspired by prompt at Imaginary Garden with Real Toads.
i once read a poet named Carroll
who rolled readers’ minds in a barrel
we spun in a tea cup
until Alice fessed up
and Mad Hatter declared white hare sterile!

A little limerick in honor of Poem in My Pocket Day…when I titled my blog, almost three years ago, I did not know it was a “national” holiday!
I carry a poem in my pocket
Obsession eccentric – don’t knock it!
May I read it aloud?
Make dead poets proud
If you enjoy versing, let’s rock it!
