Their puppy woke me up for his nature’s call,

Outside a passing bus slowed down to stare,

Not at the pretty puppy, but most likely at me,

Dressed in only snow boots and underwear…

They come in droves from far and wide,

Outfitted in spandex, leather and chiffon.

Yet the greatest challenge they face this week,

Is standing in lines at Comic-Con…

It makes Sammy sad when I have to go to work,

She rubs against my legs and flops down on the floor.

And just when I think she couldn’t possibly be more cute,

She turns it up, even cuter and blocking the door.

Crafting poetry on this sunny morn,

Composing rhymes sent straight from Heaven.

Spotting the date, I quietly chuckle,

For today is double-0 seven…

Member of the group since 1984,

Cliché, but surely time flies.

Went to a meeting the other month,

Since when am I one of the “Old Guys?”

It was love at first sight,

Everyone knows how that goes.

Sammy, purring in my arms, looks up

And tenderly licks my nose.

Working in an industrial park,

Is a fine place to make a buck.

But although “park” is in its name,

There is never an ice cream truck.

Huzzah the Summer Solstice!

On the BBQ, I call dibs.

It was also my Mother’s birthday,

So to celebrate, we had ribs!

I love the scent of flowers,

While sitting in the shade.

No two ways about it,

Ferdinand had it made.

I love to ponder the daffodils,

And filling coconuts with limes.

But this having to work every single day,

Is interfering with my rhymes!
