Parakeet Treat


There once was a parakeet, all by himself.
Although he could fly, he couldn't push the treats off the shelf.
And so one day the parakeet flew out of his house, to find someone strong enough to help.
The first creature he met was a little wolf whelp.
The little wolf greeted the parakeet with a grin, "We were about to have lunch, do you want to come in?"
The parakeet agreed, for his stomach did ache.
So the wolf whelp led him into the den, where his mother did wait.
"My, what a sweet little bird!" The mother wolf growled in delight.
And before the parakeet could blink, he went out like a light.
Although he was small, the wolves enjoyed the rare treat.
For parakeets rarely venture to places where a wolf they could happen to meet.

Types of Sandwiches


1. Turkey sandwich. Great after Thanksgiving.
2. Cheese sandwich. For when you're feeling cheesy.
3. Meatball sandwich. Sometimes you got to move on from the noodles.
4. Tuna sandwich. It might seem fishy, but lots of folks love them.
5. Chicken salad sandwich. For when you're feeling fancy.
6. Peanut butter sandwich. Sometimes, you just want to be a bit nutty.
7. Jelly sandwich. Have you ever tried mixing multiple jellies together?
8. Monte Cristo. Because some ham and cheese sandwiches like to hang out with the cool kids.
9. A BLT. A classic, and a nice choice for brunch.
10. Bologna sandwich. Because, really, what else to you immediately think of eating when you think of bologna?

Pets...


When the dog wants some love, just give his belly a rub.
When the cat wants some cuddles, to not give in brings troubles.
When the dog wants to play with his toy, throwing it brings great joy.
When the cat chases a mouse, you simply hope to get it out of the house.
When the dog starts to beg, a tasty treat may be hidden down by you leg.
When the cat demands a treat, you'd better be fast on your feet.
Whatever the animal, dog, cat, or fish,
Pets have a way of fulfilling our every wish.

The Old Computer


The old computer monitor sat dusty in the corner. Though still plugged in, it had been forgotten by those in the house. For who want to wait for a old piece of tech to finish loading the log-in screen when they could simply whip out their phone?
And so the old computer monitor sat in disuse, with only its companion tower for company.
They didn't even have a mouse anymore, for the cat had stolen the wireless device months ago (it probably hadn't been the wisest of design choices to make the wireless mouse look like a real mouse).
Still, the old monitor held out hope that one day, one of the family would find a use for them again.
At this point, even getting turned on so old family photos could be transferred over to one of the sleek new laptops would be acceptable.
But until that moment came, the old computer monitor would sit and wait, collecting dust.

Places to Find the Cat


1. In a box. Doesn't matter what the box was for, it now belongs to the cat.
2. On the counter. Because nowhere is off limits to the feline of the house.
3. In the closet. If you didn't want to lock the cat in there, then you really shouldn't have opened it in the first place.
4. Tangled in yarn. Doesn't matter how often you take it away or hide it, the cat will find and unball all the yarn.
5. In your seat. What do you mean your seat, don't you see all the cat hair? That means it belongs to the cat, obviously.
6. Behind the couch. Because that is a good place for a catnap.
7. Under the bed. Ha ha, you can't reach the kitty, so no vet visit today!
8. On top of the door. Someone had to climb up to get the spider on the ceiling, after all.
9. In the window. And if you try closing it, then the cat will be outside the window.
10. In the sink. Right when you want to wash your hands, too.

Stars


The thing about love is that it is not a single pie. Though slices are taken by those thought of fondly, it needn't ever be finished.
For love is like stars, numerous, far-reaching things. Some, like the sun, fill each day with warmth. Others seem more distant, oftentimes appearing cold. But they still light up the darkness with their presence, and guide us through the ocean of life.
Love is not an eight-slice pie, to be hoarded until the right people come into your life.
For love is better spent filling the sky with constellations to mark each person who had touched your heart.
So fill your life with stars, and remember that though some may be distant, the sun too is a star.
