Catnip

Fur family bedding,

Sprinkle a dusting like Iowa’s fresh falling snow upon each bed,

It will be for them like a hot toddie for you,

My little family have not ate since a bit of my warmed mashed potatoes this morning,

I had a nice sweet potato,

Poverty is a great way to lower all the household weight,

Sir Pete from down the street tomorrow when he goes to town for his medicine is going to buy me some food and some for my fur family,

I so want money coming in So Can care for those extra special humans who made this year worth living for me and those I love,

Pete shared his Thanksgiving meal with me and sent all the left over food home with me,

Today he called after texting about three just to see if I had something to eat tonight,

In this weather he fights to breath but still he asked,

This summer every hot day he called to see if we were all right,

The end of every month he brought me groceries,

Pete knew I had no extra money I had fur people who had more important needs,

What a swell southern gentleman,

I’m glad years ago he chose to make northern Iowa his home,
