Thoroughly Poetic Thankful Thimble Thursday

We are really enjoying our first go at Angel Sammy and Teddy's Thoroughly Poetic Thursday challenge each week, which of course means we look forward to Thursdays now even more than we already did before.

This week brings us to the letter C, which means we have a little C of a someone for you to meet.

Calista the Carpenter
  
Her name is Calista.

No, she is most certainly not a barista.

No, she will not pour you a cup of coffee.

And no, she will not add a shot of toffee!

Calista does not deal in beans and brews,

But, rather, in nuts, bolts, and screws.

So, do you wish for a house up there in that tree?

Calista can climb right up there and build it for thee.

Or maybe you’d like a house for your dog?

Calista can make a masterpiece out of any old log.

Oh, so it’s a great big mansion that you desire?

No biggie, Calista can even add a turret and a spire.

Now, if you don’t mind, let’s get started.

Calista never goes at her job half-hearted.

Could you please hand over that trusty old hammer?

Yes, it’s that metal thing that makes a great whammer.

And don’t forget that big box of nails.

Without them we’ll never get wind in our sails.

Let's start by putting this wall here.

No, it won’t blow over, don’t you fear.

Calista more than knows the tricks of her trade,

Of that you certainly need not be afraid.

Before you know it, the job will be done.

For Calista the Carpenter, she’s second to none.

And, since we are also challenging ourselves to illustrate our weekly workers, here is Calista the Carpenter:

Does this Calista look familiar to anybuddy?


Well now, all of these career paths we've been trying to poeticize really have Thimble pondering. She's already a model, and proud of it, but she's also wondering what else she could be.

Thimble wants to know what her furiends suggest. What do you all think Thimble should be when she grows up?


Oh, and of course we did not forget Brian's Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

Thimble would like to begin by saying how thankful she is for her skills as a model. We are all also thankful for the jobs that those around us do each day. We're thankful for our mail carrier, for the delivery drivers who bring us all sorts of goodies, for those who work at the gas stations and shops that keep our car running, and for those who pick up and dispose of our trash each week. And, of course, we're thankful for family and furiends like all of you!

Our Tip of the Day:

Remember to keep that tool box away from the furbabies! Hardware, including nails and screws, can be incredibly dangerous if ingested by a pup or kitty. Not only can they become lodged in throat or other region of the gastrointestinal tract, but they can lead to perforation of the bowels. Even placing such items on a counter or workbench might be dangerous, such as if you have a kitty who likes to bat at small items, or if you have a curious and enthusiastic pup who jumps up on things. Similarly, tools themselves can be potentially dangerous. For example, we all know how sharp a saw can be, so be careful where you keep tools such as these. Even hanging from a wall in the garage, it is not impossible for such tools to be a danger to curious pups or kitties. So, keep all hardware and even tools locked away somewhere safe, because it's always better to be safe than to be sorry.
