A children's book in the making

I don't have children. I have two two cats and a fish.  Frankie.  Cooper.  Boxer 2. (You may ask why Boxer 2 - the first one was a beta - he didn't live more than a week - named after the mascot - guess which University.)



I've always wanted to write a children's book.  In fact, I think I'll write about my children.

You either are a cat lover or not so I realize this book may invite you into my novel or it may turn you off.  That's okay with me.

What you need to know about Frankie and Cooper is they are not the ordinary felines you may think about.  It's not like they have super powers or anything but they are extraordinary and have personality.

They love to ride in the car, on my lap of course.

They're not afraid of the vacuum (in fact they follow it around when it's on).

I think my cats secretly want to primp.  When my hair dryer is on, they leap across the bathroom sink to lunge at the moving cord.

And, instead of eating Boxer 2, my one pound gold fish, they drink water out of his bowl.

My children's book will be designed by Ryan Gaard, he just doesn't know it yet.

As they run and play,
Pounce and bounce,
They seem to jump in flight,
With all their might,

They watch TV,
And love the bouncing balls,
March Madness is their time,
Running to the door when the bell chimes,

Love visitors,
Friendly felines,
Enjoy being carried around by kids,
And hiding pop tops and lids,

Yes, Frankie and Cooper are fun,
Especially when they are on the run,
Like Boxer 2 when he's diving for their paws wishing he weighed a ton.

  1. I to am thinking about writing a book titled my life with Barb and Angela. Do you think that it would sell? I am fairly certain it would generate a laugh or 2.
