Silly CATS

C – Contentedly curious in her contemptible preoccupation of coercing my carpet into shreds, is she. Catastrophically creating whirlpools of cyclonic feline fur, she does.

A – Atrociously precocious as she athletically accosts the legs of my antique armoire, is she. Alluring, attractive, adorable to others, still annoyingly she attacks my sleeping toes, she does.

T – Tempestuously timid, training topaz eyes toward the transgressor who dare touch her venerable torso, is she. Tortuously ticklish, yet transversely tolerant tautly awaiting her trouncing time, does she.

S – So very happy I have a dog,

Am I!

The End?

Ami (Gypsie) Offenbacher-Ferris

Is the end truly the end?

Or the beginning of something new?

And if the end is the beginning of something new,

Then is the beginning the true end after all?

Is the true end of all the end for all?

Or the end for some but not the many?

And if the end is not for the many,

Then who is the end of all for if not for all?

Is the end of all for all the beginning?

Or is the end for all only for the few?

And if the end of all is only for the few,

Then what is the end of all for the many if not for all?
