Happy Birthday to Ann over at McGuffy’s Reader.
I liked her blog from the moment I heard the name, because I was heavily into The Little House on the Prairie at the time, where they use McGuffy’s Reader to teach Nineteenth Century children (hey, I’ve followed blogs for dafter reasons than that).
Ann blogs about cats, a lot – another reason to make me a fan. Like that mad dictator of one of the Russian ‘Stans who dedicated a public holiday to water melons, Ann has Cat Thursday – my favourite day for her posts. Check out her latest pic:
Ann also blogs about books, promoting new releases. Treble fandom. She has just reviewed a book by Kellie Meister called Crazy Critter Lady. Make of that what you will…
Ann tells me that she is ‘extremely casual…been married 30 years’…make of that what you will.
Here is her birthday poem:

A Birthday Poem For Ann
Happy birthday, Ann,
of whom I am a fan.
Married to Bill
(make of that what you will)
for thirty years.
She endears
herself to her readers
with cat pics that get weirder
by the Thursday.
I can’t stay away:
McGuffy likes fluffy
like I like McGuffy.
Of folk she never speaks ill;
make of that what you will.
She likes to distil goodwill;
make of that what you will.
This poem’s going downhill -
make of that what you will.
No need to be my mind reader:
I like McGuffy: read her.
