WHAT’S THAT NOISE . . .

POETRY BY KATHY BOECHER

The Advent season is upon us. Our focus should be on the coming Messiah, but somehow the commercialization of this time of year kicks in and we might fall victim to some of the outside influences. The picture was not painted by Paul this time. It’s just a cute little Pinterest offering. I haven’t seen any mice in the house so far this year. That’s a good thing since they scare the bejeebers out of me. Who would think an 83 year old woman would be frightened by such an adorable little critter? This is a Throwback Thursday from four years ago.

‘Twas the month before Christmas and all through the house,

The only thing stirring was a cold, little mouse,

He found a warm spot in the neighborhood,

He thought he’d sneak in while the getting was good,

The house it was fancy and the space was ginormous,

Each room beckoned him, but their cat was enormous,

Instead he decided to sleep in the attic

Along came a friend who was quite acrobatic,

Who swung through the air with the greatest of ease,

He traversed cross the ceiling, as quick as a breeze,

At last they found refuge in the insulation,

But suddenly felt a tumultuous vibration,

They thought it was Santa on top of the roof,

They got so excited, but remained quite aloof,

They peeked out the window and what did they see,

It was simply the owner, decorating the tree.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    Oh, Mama K! This is adorable! I see a picture book here! I have to share that my twin has called me “Mousie” for many years. Her nickname is “Bunny”. I would have preferred to NOT be a rodent, lol! But your Pinterest pic makes it cuter! I love you!

      Would you like to collaborate? You could illustrate or write music. Don’t feel bad about your nickname. Your sister was named for a rodent too. Love you, Mousie🥸

But it would be a dream come true to collaborate with YOU!!! Let’s plan it! Oh yes, a bunny IS a rodent too, LOL!!! I love you Mama K!!!! ❤️😁😁
