A little thing from old site's blog........................

The canary just dropped dead
while swinging in its cage
just one chirp of fear and dread
a definite pollution gauge

The dog whines scratching at the door
attempting to gain fresh air
escape is what he's begging for
an exit from his usual lair

That fly that's been buzzing all day
is twitching on the oval rug
I guess he's down and out to stay
one less fly, I sit and shrug

The smoke alarm is singing out
( and Sue's not trying to cook )
" Turn that damn thing off ! " I shout
thus receiving a dirty look

While walking past she gives a sniff
or three and then begins to frown
" Alarm would not be sounding if
you would just put your old arms down ! "
