Remember old Mother Hubbard
Who went to her cupboard
And found it completely bare?
Her dog got no meat,
No kibble, no treat,
Just cobwebs and crumbs were found there.
My story's the same
As that poor, luckless dame
Though it isn't my dog that's the groaner.
My pussy 'twould seem
Is without any cream
There's just dust where there should be a boner.

Into each life some rain must fall!! Spring is basically right around the corner and your drought will be no more!!!
Steve Martin played a character in a movie, who said this line!
"Everybody wants to know whens it gonna rain?
I wanna know whens it gonna stop!"
You think spring will end my personal dry spell? I like your optimism.
I'm sorry....it's no fun having none!
I'll survive. I just remind myself that I once went an entire decade without. (I just hope it doesn't come to that!)
I don't think it will......
@packageman57 I can always drop my age requirement!
that literally made me laugh out loud.
Not at your dilemma but your reinterpretation of the nursery rhyme.
P.S.
I would so love to help you with that.
I wrote that poem in my sleep (almost)
It was 40F today ... we could've even used the balcony!
Looks like we have the same problem
The only thing to do is laugh along with me.
You make me wish that we lived closer to each other. We, both, have the same problem and could help each other.
Thanks for the thought.
Speaking like this, it even made my imagination fertile imagining many things... 😋ðŸ¤
Imagination is a great thing ... but it doesn't fill all the empty spots.
Enjoyed your post.
Thanks.
Nice verse
I'm glad you enjoyed it.
A great verse.
Welcome to the Italian Sestet.
That's a tragedy for sure! But a good sign that you still have a sense of humor about the situation.
If I ever lose my sense of humor ... nope, won't happen!
Very amusing!
Not if it were your pussy that was starving! 🤣
@superbjversion2 I hope you get lucky soon.
Thanks for the post.
Side note: I was saddened to see GRPD arrest the anti-ICE protest leader. They know better.
You're welcome.
Side note response: I'm surprised there hasn't been more of an ICE presence here. West Mich. is a heavy fruit growing area depending on migrant workers.
@superbjversion2 Perhaps because Michigan is a swing state.
@SoGood2Know But the current admin dislikes our Gov. However, we have a senate seat up for grabs. MI hasn't elected a Republican US senator in 30 years
@superbjversion2 Looks like there is a good chance Michigan will become the 9th state to have two women senators serving simultaneously.
