Haik-Roo #2

Greetings to all, it's me, Maggie.  Some of you may remember that a while back, Zim and Cammie wrote a Haik-roo* about ME!  (You can click here to see it!) I must confess, that lovely bit of verse did reveal one of my nicknames - The Peep. So, anyway ... when my Dad went to the store a week or so ago and brought back a certain treat, we had to get a shot!

"If I eat these, would I be a cannibal?  Ha roo roo roo!"

Anyway, remembering their Haik-roo #1 about me - the Peep - got me to thinking.  Cam and I should follow in her and Zimmie's footsteps and continue the tradition of writing Haik-roo.  Great idea, don't you think?

Yesterday, Mom wanted a picture of us supporting the KSU Wildcats for the College of Veterinary Medicine's FaceBook page.  While we were working on it, I ran my idea past Cam - and she was up for it.  I figured there was no time like then to get creative!  I took the first and last lines, Cam had the middle -- here you go!

Pretty good, huh? And look at how cooperative we were! And then ...

Things got a bit more interesting.

"Hey ... cool hat!  Oops.  It fell."
"Maggie!  No!  Don't do it!"

Mom moved the hat back up onto the top step, then mistook my interest in the hat for the desire to have it touch me.  Not gonna happen.

"I'm outta here."
"Maggie, no!  Come on, Peep!  Don't leave me!  Mom... Mom, no!!!  I ... uh ..."

Hey.  Mom was out of treats.  Session over!

"Seriously?"

For some of us.

I hope you enjoyed the second Haik-roo, the first one Cam and I wrote together!

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Thatcher

*A Haik-roo is like traditional Japanese haiku (three lines of non-rhyming verse, 17 total syllables: 5 in the first line, 7 in the second, and 5 in the last), only the last two syllables are "ha roo".
