I once sheltered a cat named Patches.
Now days, I shelter a computer
fondly called the same.
Thanks to Microsoft (and others)
I play a new game with Patches,
called hide and seek.
But too many are playing this game
and now I can't seem to find
anywhere safe to hide,
no matter how many patches
my PC pants wears
I am DOOMED
if I can't stay
one step ahead of the game.
Patches.
Oh, how I used to love
the sight of that cat.

I take it "patches" was a calico?

*smile*

This is cute, Kace.

It did remind of that old song tho, "Patches"--something about that one always made grown men cry...the more things change, the more they stay the same?



Hugs, lady.

I would laugh (because this is so cute), if it weren't so painful.....just in this past month we have gotten attacked by spyware, adware, viruses.......not much fun to play with.  Great write, Kacy girl!   ....jo

Jo, I have to run that adware/spyware finder more often now, and as for viruses? SHEESH! I have AVG professional version, and it still can't delete three stupid Trojans that are embedded. Fortunately, they don't seem to be messing with anything...yet.

I figure you call your computer "Patches" cuz sometimes it's there and sometimes not.  Nice musings.  Any cat story works for me.  Ken

Ish, don't wait until it's unpatcheable.


Jo, yes, a conspiracy!

Ken, LOL, OK, next time, maybe a cat story. Hmmmm, where to begin.
