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.

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

  2. 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.

  6. In a while
    in a pile

    stop now

    on the Nile really riles me up.
    All the while, this is vile.
