Sketch of Muffy revised

by Marijo Phelps⁽¹⁰⁾

Incongruous though it may seem,

There is a pumpkin

Under the tree,

Which sits all bedecked

And tinsel covered

In the center of the

Tie dye curtained room

Of India print spreads

And flowered pillows,

Of orange and green and yellow gold

Through all this colorful

Discordantly interesting explosion

Muffy sleeps.

Possibly she can because the scene parallels

Her own existence.

It's almost as if she wears

The thoughts of her head

In her conglomerant whirlwind coat

Of orange, black, brown and

In-between

Impetuous feline

Racing through the house,

Sliding across the kitchen

Catapulting,

Somersaulting, caterwauling

Only to drop, moments later

Into peaceful upside down oblivion

As she flops-plops asleep, paws in the air,

On the India print couch,

A tightly curled Muffy pumpkin.

Muffy lived to a ripe old age of 15 and went to live with my sister and her family (much to her dismay there were children in the home) when I went to do short term missionary work with Youth With a Mission.
