little pugilist
waking from a dream
sports a shiner!
*
better
to have stayed in bed—
the black eye!
Mikey gives a knockout punch! 🐾 One night I looked at her and saw the blackeye. Oh, no! I tried to rub it off, thinking she had gotten into something, some kind of schmutz, but it wouldn’t rub off. Her shiner lasted til the end of the week. It’s a mystery what happened, but one thing’s for sure— Mikey’s a winner all the way!😽
