A Tale Of Three Tails

____________________________________________________________________________________

Three Cat Tail Cacti

Growing in a bunch

I saw them
I photographed them
Then I went home for lunch

I gave names to the
Two sisters and a brother:

 
He is Big Finger
They are Red Paws
And The Other

 
Giving them a GoodFather page–
That was my only wish

 
But not until after
I ate some tuna fish.

 




Three cat tail cacti
Made me think of Giotto
 
Because nothing else
Rhymes with iPhoto

Into that folder 
They went

Until this verse (from God-knows-where)
was sent.

    In the photograph of the three cat tails, shouldn't you have omitted the reedy foreground?

    I would have but those "reedy things"
    are actually play sticks
    for the cat tails.

    If you look close enough,
    you will see what I mean.

      There's gotta be a poem here somewhere.

    In a while
    in a pile
    up jumps style
    crossing many mile
    I think I'll
    stop now

    Mobile dial to file your guile
    on the Nile really riles me up.
    All the while, this is vile.

    Is that a threat?

    or a post-script?
