Walkin Down The Street

 


Sunday morning, we were walking down the street,
when a man and a woman we did meet.
I started to whimper, Mama said Hi,
The man and woman did not pass us by.
Mama said he wants to be petted; do you pet dogs?
Beau is an affection hog.
The woman said, yes, we have one at home.
I whimpered as we walked to her side, I cared not that she had no bone.
She petted me and said to her man, 
come pet Beau, stretch out your hand.
He came and petted me while 2 women gabbed a lot.
The lady said, my name is Rickie Ricardo, and laughed out loud, her name is one of fame.
Mama said, Really, I will not forget your name.
Not the real street we were walking down,
Not the real Ricky Ricardo we found,
but it was a great walk and lots of petting,
I love walks as long as petting I am getting.

PS.The street and photo were changed to protect the innocent. Um, actually she was so busy talking she forgot to take photos. Also, our street is not this pretty
The story is True, the street and Ricky are not. 
Well Rickie was real, just not this Ricky, Wrong Ricardo Right Neighbor

Lucy and Riky Ricardo, the real one

that is a mighty fine poem... and we would pet you too, of course... well... at least the mama would, we would invite you for doing something totally weird together with us... LOL

You sure do have interesting walks. We never have anything like that happen when we go for a walk.

What fun you had, Beau...and fun for Mama, too.

Beau what a lucky lady to have been able to pet your sweet head and look into your deep dark chocolate eyes

That was so nice of Rickie to pet you while she talked to your mom.

That's a fun story. Our Dad and Mom would both run to pet you Beau. Y'all be safe, we're thinking about you down there.

We sure hope that one day you might meet a real life Ricki to pet you...meaning a furmouse peep!

Petcretary used to see a couple of ladies walking a Westie, and a outside kitty would tag along...so they always had to stop and chat for a bit. MJF got pets, too.

We don't walk that route anymore...we mostly now walk a longer route, we need to get rid of our terrieristical energies...BOL!

Hope that storm won't pester you too much. Stay safe.

I enjoyed that, mama is very clever with words. That is a very nice encounter. I am happy they made a fuss of you after mama told them you like to be petted.
