Poem by Julia

Lots of "end of the year" stuff is coming home from Julia's 3rd grade adventures. Here's something so cute, I thought it appropriate to share here on my blog.

Everybody Needs a Cat
by Julia

Everybody needs a cat
Because they are so cute
And fuzzy
And marvelous.
They are playful
And like to be petted.


I can't wait to dig through the other piles of stuff that she has done this year. Off for a "girls lunch out" with my sweet child who I'm going to miss while away at TNNA this coming weekend.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Please tell Julia that she's completely correct and thank her for the poem. Pretty kitten, too.

Enjoy the lunch. Julia wrote such a nice poem!
My own sweet child graduated high school on Wednesday and we're enjoying some time together before he goes to college. I love going through his school drawings, papers, etc. It all happens in the blink of an eye!

Well done Julia! I love cats too.

I agree, Julia.... everybody does need a cat. And Kristin, everybody also needs a sweet child to remind us what is really important in life. Since my children are too old (34, 31, and 28) and my grandchildren are still too young to verbalize, I'd like to thank you for sharing.

It can be amusing, what the kids bring home at the end of the year. When my son was in 4th grade (now 30) he brought home a paper he had written explaining how he wasn't the only child everyone thought he was...he really had an older brother who had been killed in
WW1. Keep in mind, even his grandparents hadn't been born in time for WW1!

Love seeing all the animals on your farm.

Love Julia's poem. I want to interject that cats give unconditional love too! They can be your best buddies when no one else is around.

When I read Julia's poem to my two cats, Henry and June, they asked me, "Mom, has Julia met us? Because she has described us purr-fectly!"

I suppose I should just slink away...but I really don't like cats (sorry, I'm sorry). I did, however, really love the poem which has got to be a sign that it is **really** good poetry.

PS: my work verification is imrrybdt, which looked like "I am rabid." or rabbit? Maybe that's why I don't like cats?

A lovely poem; I agree, too.
