ZAMBONI ZAC

Dad and Zach - Maintenance Crew - 2012

I want to play big boy hockey

But I’m much too little to play

I put on my skates and get on the ice

I’m the maintenance crew today

I pretend I’m driving the Zamboni

Around and ‘round the rink

Clearing all the pretty snow

Too make it smooth I think

My hands are on the steering wheel

The big engine screams and roars

The seat is tickling my bottom

As it rumbles across the floor

Around and ‘round the ice I go

My Mommy cheers me on

Everybody loves the Zamboni

Until all the snow is gone

So now I’ll watch my brother

Play hockey upon our rink

As Mommy hugs me warmly

Giving me hot chocolate to drink

I’d like to ride the Zamboni

When I grow up some day

Everyone would cheer me on

Hurray!! Hurray!! they'd say.

The End

TASMANIA SAYS

Meow…it’s Tasmania here

And I have something to say

Thank you dearest friend

For praying for me today

You kept me warm

Inside your big heart

And because of this

We’re never apart

This love we found

Is precious to me

I am so grateful

For everything, see?

Thank you for rubbing

Behind my big ears

And stroking my belly

Comforting my fears

I will find you again

My beautiful friend

Someday, somewhere

It’s never the end

POPPY SAYS

I am a good dog

I just have my flaws

I get so excited

I dance on my paws

Sometimes I’m loud

It’s because I am proud

My humans are great

And this is my fate!

Hug me and praise me

Lavish me with love

And I will reward you

With the best doggie hug

Cuddle me close

Let’s play every day

And I will surely

Make you say…awe….

I LOVE YOU POPPY

KNOCK KNOCK

Cuddlebugz Photography - Kitchener, Ontario

Knock knock knockin’ at the old front door

One two three – Lana knocks some more

Little Lana’s knocking, but nobody’s home

Except for a spider running across the stones

The little spider says in her little sweet way

“Would you like to come inside to play?”

Little Lana looked around and said “who me?”

And the little spider nodded and said “yes please”

So the two of them played and talked all day

Weaving their stories, going every which way

They went to the moon on the spider’s web

Fell down laughing on the imaginary bed

They danced on a dew drop and dined on a rose

Played hide n’ seek where the tall grasses grow

But when the twinkling stars came out to play

Little Lana and the spider had to call it a day.

So Little Lana called her mom on the phone

And said “Mommy, I would like to come home”

Now sweet Little Lana is snuggled  in her bed

Dreaming of the moon and a spider’s web.
