My name is Sam,
Sam I am,
I do not like green eggs and ham,
but I do like to climb in the trash can,
and run run run, catch me if you can!
 
I do not hide as much anymore,
And unlike Rosie, I do not try
to sneak out the front door...
 
My husband, well his name is Smudge,
and his devotion to me it will not budge,
neither train, nor hurricane, nor quake, nor flood,
Can touch the two of us, so much in love!
 
My sister Maxie, she loves to eat!
Eat and eat and eat and eat,
and when she's under the covers,
you had better be careful, watch your feet!
 
Another, Wiggles, she is a little miss,
wiggle, wiggle, watch her wiggle,
to and fro and down the stairs,
she certainly is the Queen around here!
 
Then comes Shiva, quite mischevious,
she is very new, new to this home,
yet acts as if, she's cozy and all
and fights with Rosie,
for the right, that special right,
to the prized Princess' throne!
 
Then comes Ma, she loves us so!
We dread the time each day,
when we have to see her go!
She gives us kisses and food in our
dishes, and checks on each and every
one of us, many times, throughout the day,
to make sure we are healthy and well,
and dancing, singing, and hard at play!
 
And last is Da, he always writes these crazy posts,
to the FML, to tell you our stories,
grand and small,
true or tall,
often wise or quite whimsical,
He is our Da,
we love him so,
even when,
he stashes all the remote controls!
