K is for Katie the Klutz

Katie burns every meal she makes
You should see her awful cakes,
Totally charred and hard as stone
Too much chatting on her phone,

And don’t get me started about her mess
It’s enough to cause me great distress,
Papers, dishes, clothes galore
Adorning the apartment floor,

She’s late for work almost every day
She’s had more jobs than I can say,
She’s scatterbrained and totally wild
Her attention span is worse than a child,

Katie will pretend and she will lie
In her quest to find the perfect guy,
She tells them she’s a famous star
Don’t you think that’s going too far?

You should see the high heels she wears
They make her stumble on the stairs,
The way she dresses is quite a sight
She looks like a woman of the night,

Face it, Katie is a total klutz
And I’m her roomie, I must be nuts!

    Your poems are such fun, Cathy! Have you ever thought about writing children's books? Bet they'd be popular! Happy Easter Long weekend The A to Z continues, however. Wish could we have a few days to get caught up. :P

      Thanks, Debbie. Oh yes. I've had that dream since childhood. I've taken tons of writing courses, too. I've subbed stories and even had some stories published an a Christmas play, but never a full length book. Maybe I should self publish something. Ellie Stornebrink was trying to encourage me to do that. Happy Easter and good luck with the A to Z.

      Lots of people go the self-publishing route. I have been thinking about it as well, if I can ever get my WIPS finished. ☺ Not as prestigious or financially lucrative as having an actual publisher, but, at least it's out there.

      No, it was purely fictional and fun to imagine. The poor roomie putting up with that nonsense. Hope you're hanging in there with the challenge. Half way through! You can do it!

#MicroblogMonday - Small Actions Do Make a Difference

Image
My family has a band made up of me on flute, my husband on bass clarinet, one son on tenor sax and the other on drums. We play music at the Presbyterian church we attend every third Sunday.  Our church congregation are a traditional, conservative bunch, not known for displaying too much emotion and often I assume that no one cares much if we play or not. Yesterday I was at a funeral for one of the members. A woman came up to me and told me how much she loves to see my sons perform and how the music just pours out of us. She always looks forward to the Sundays when we are performing and how much our music means to her. Her appreciation for our music reminded me that even small actions can have a big impact. It also reminded me that if someone does make a difference, it’s important to thank them and show your appreciation. Never assume that people know already as often they’re like me and don’t think that these small actions are a big deal. Never underestim...

#MondayMusings Acceptance of Loss and Change

This cartoon certainly touched a nerve this morning and triggered an outpouring of emotion that has evolved into this blog post. I sure miss my mom’s phone calls. That was our way of staying connected across the vast thousand mile distance between Ontario and Cape Breton.  My mom just loved to talk on the phone with friends and family, especially during the last few years of her life when she wasn’t as active anymore. She would come out to the sunroom, sit in her favourite chair (sometimes with an orange cat in her lap) and phone people. She used to put on the speaker phone which I never liked, but she found it easier and my dad could listen in, too. I used to tell her I wasn't a phone person and that I preferred email and Facebook are since I express myself best in writing.  What I wouldn't do for one of my mom’s phone calls now. Miss her every day. I'm adapting and going on, as one must do after losing a loved one, but life is defini...
