I just get nicely settled
And get myself to sleep
When the blessed light comes on again
And I'm wakened from the deep
It's my old Don getting up again
I know why that will be.
He has to go to the bathroom
For yet another pee.
I think the reason for this
Is very clear to me
All day long I see him
With another a mug of tea.
Now I'm a very loyal dog
I stay through thick and thin
But I think I'll hide those tea bags
Or put them in the bin
Now Midge iβd like to have a word
Just between you and me
Whatever else you do to Don,
Please donβt take his tea. Xxx π«ππ
Enjoy the sunshine xxxxx
πI love it! x You are getting really good at this.
Ey up Midge, you drink the tea
Then you can wake Don
When you need a wee.
PMSL Mr. D & Midge πππ
Oh dear SH, not again. Your laundry bill must be massive. π
Luckily for me, it's not the biggest of my problems(if you get my drift!π·). It is however,and I feel terrible to put this "out there", for all to read-but you must take a portion of the blame because if you weren't so blinking clever at rhyming and have the ability to distract from health issues with laughter and smiles,well my laundry bill wouldn't be so huge!!!
However,don't stop rhyming as I so look forward to reading them each day! Maybe you are a "service provider" in the best possible tasteππ x
Thank SH you must be my greatest fan and I hope I can keep entertaining you for as long as you can afford those laundry bills. π€£πx
ππππππππ
Ha! Ha! Ha! Love it xx
Well done Midge - great poem but I think Don needs his tea x
What a great poem, Midge. Now I see where Don gets his talents from π
Scruffy cat has a similar tale to tell
Her slave is making her life hell
His evening nightcap of a glass of red
Means she also gets disturbed in bed. 
x
Thatβs cheeky cat youβve got
She might tie it in a knot π±
Sometimes i think that it's gone missing
Which doesn't help in the act of widdling
If Scruffy cat could really tie knots
We would be rich and famous and earning lots.
I say Skis do have a care
I think we'd better leave this there.π€
yes i did get a little carried away i must amend it. x
π I think 'piddling' would have been okay
piddling /α ΛpΙͺdlΙͺΕ/ (also piddly) α’adjective informal ridiculously small or trivial.
You are starting to sound like a dear friend of ours called 'Majji' LOL x
Well that's good. She has spent a lot of time training us. π
A very wise and humorous lady with so much on her plate and she never complains of her ailments and is an example to us all. x
Aww SirSki - that is so sweet of you - or did the beauteous Scruffy compose that by herself? xx Actually I am very good at tying knots - just something I picked up - at Brownies.
I bet he was one of those who used to take an apple for the teacher every day. π

At the moment she is sleeping in an Amazon box as she states it is a hard life being a writer in demand,perhaps she dreams of the cat equivalent of the Booker prize?
Now all we need is a word for a feline equivalent of the Booker prize - thoughts anyone?
A new category ? I'm off to bed.
She is struggling with the pen at the moment X

You mean you have not yet provided the sensuous Scruffy with her own typewriter SirSki? Shame on you 
She mithers me(a northern expression)? enough already and i don't need typewritten demands on top of the verbal ones she frequently miaows.
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English, the word is dialect, used mainly in the north, meaning "make a fuss; moan: oh men - don't they mither?"
The word dates back to the late 17th century and although its exact origin is unknown, it is thought it may come from Welsh.
One possibility is that it was derived from the Welsh word "moedrodd", meaning "to worry or bother", a possible alternative from the Welsh "meidda", meaning "to beg for whey" or "meiddio" meaning "to dare or venture".
In the modern world Wikipedia, the online dictionary, gives a similar definition for "mither" as: 1. (intransitive, Northern England) "To make an unnecessary fuss, moan, bother. 2. (transitive) To pester or irritate someone. Usually directed at children. Will you stop mothering me!"
It might keep her amused though
Good one Midge......remember it's good excercise for the breathing for Don to keep moving even getting to the loo and back a few times from his bed πX
Well Midge darling Don must have his tea
It's the only thing which gets him to his knees
Other than this he would be static all day
Bang goes your walkies - he would say nay! x
Woof woof woof! πΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎπΎ
Midge agrees! 
xx
Miaow x
Saying goodnight to all - pleasant dreams , sweet repose, if you lie on your back, you won't flatten your nose - I remember that word of advice being given to me from age 3 or 4 . . .
I am visiting the place that Don talks about. I expect you didn't really want to know that. But sleep well dear majji πΊx
I trust you had a a moving moment SirSki? I did sleep well until 3 a.m. ish . . .
Brilliant, best thread I've ever read out of all the ones out there, took me straight back to my childhood with thoughts of Rupert bear.
Rupertβs hundredth birthday this year. π
