Today is Tuesday and a few fun weird/wacky holidays. First it’s National American Beer Day; National Black Cat Day; Cranky Co-Workers and Navy Day. I know the Navy celebrated its birthday on the 13th but not sure why there is another day to celebrate. I guess another job for Google.
I did not have much time to do the word for today which is BLACK CAT. I decided on an acrostic and based part of it on my neighbor’s cat even though it isn’t black. It sometimes sits on the porch and it will hiss at people driving past on bikes or walkers. Most of the time it’s friendly but I think it gets in the mood and don’t want to be disturbed. The cat in the verse sits waiting for prey on Halloween night and it hisses as it’s hears kids shouting for treats. It reminds me of going out trick-or-treating one year alone. There was a cat I recall sitting on the porch of a house. It was a big gray and white cat that seemed to be liking to pounce. I was afraid to go up the stairs on the porch so I waited till a group of others came along and went up with them.
I’ve always like black cats and never thought of them as unlucky.
So today if you, friend or family member a veteran of the Navy, happy Navy day to you.
If you have to put up with a cranky co-worker I’m so sorry. Now if you like beer then celebrate with an American brew.
It’s Day 27 of Halloween month and Day 2 of Halloween week. Enjoy.
Until tomorrow....have a great day and as always Stay Safe.

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Black Cat sitting statuesque on the porch
swing
Looking out into the darkness of the night
waiting for its prey
Approaching the house little ghouls and
goblins
Carefully they climb the squeaky stairs
of the veranda
Knock on the door, then wait with
nervous anticipation
Creakingly the black door slowly opens
wide
A raspy voice says “good evening and
welcome”
“Trick- or-Treat” the children shout as the
black cat hisses at them
