Going on Five? 
  new sheriff in town?

The saying "a cat has nine lives" 
Well it goes for us buildings too 
My parent's premonition worked 
I'm going on my number five  

Giving to that maxim's first They 
Aptly named Aztec Cat House One  
Where clients and kittens abound 
Good ten years--Sheriff shut me down 

Sheriff was PO'd nothing's free 
He bought me cheap, measly ten dimes 
and opened a first class hotel 
Aztec Two my parents would weep 

Wealthy guests and tourists did come 
Breakfasts free new tradition's start 
Cheapskates all, chance to save a buck 
Spend hundreds dancing all the night 

Sheriff sold booze by the gallon 
Underground basement Casino 
Fifth floor pleasure, kittens return  
Evils galore named Aztec Four 

Attention getting all for free 
Argue "The sign said Aztec Three" 
It has survived until this day 
Riverwalk haunt famed 'Den of Sin'

 - Notes:
1)  The 1926 Aztec 3 building is now holding theater productions. It is located on the Riverwalk in the old down town San Antonio.
2)  Everything in the words of this poem is Fiction goaded by my Muse.
3)  Mom's cat house was on our family farm, there she kept about 30 feral cats. https://jimmiehov.blogspot.com/2006/08/old-buildings-on-our-farm-moms-cat.html?m=1
4)  I am open to a different title for this piece.
Suggestions??

A Poem - About Some Lies

Lie to Me

Lie to me tonight,
lay close and snuggle
I need you to tell,
tell me things I need,

Things I need to hear
Things I've always known
Things to make me smile

Things true I'll tell you
Things true from my heart
Things my love for you

Would that yours come true
Things our hearts would meld
Our love could complete

Acrostic Poem Today

Previously posted on April 10, 2020, 
 for Day 10 of NaPoWriMo 2020


G A R B A G E    D A Y 

Garbage Day is today 
Already marked on calendar 
Ready or you will be missed 
But today I might be late 
Alligator was getting killed in the pail 
Great huge snake had him by the tail 
Each predator fight for himself 

Dead on arrival will be their tag 
Await the garbage truck's return 
Yay those varmints are gone 

     [KP at age six]
