Family Is What It's All About

---

This husband and I…

Got trouble…right here in Muskie City…with a capital B that rhymes with G…that stands…for girls…cats that is…one of them…we call Sassafras Tea…come struttin’ in the backyard…bold as bold…acting like she owns it…hissing…growling…slapping that paw of hers around…like there is no tomorrow…

Those boys of ours…stay quiet…keep their distance…give her space…like smart guys do…when a woman is feeling her oats…Little Sassy…is a feisty one…not afraid to sock the boys one or two…just because she can…but they always…turn the other cheek…

Cuz we suspect…she may be Hot Rod Roddy Piper’s…twin sister…born under the same tree last spring…same coloring…same face…but personalities…as different as night and day…so sometimes…under adult supervision…they share their food…and let her hang around a bit…that’s not to say…their nonchalant laying around sleeping biz…isn’t just an act…

Cuz when Sassafras Tea comes around…acting like she owns it…she pretty much…owns it…
​
And those boys of ours…are happy to agree…
