Today it rains but not a lot
enough to ruin any plans that I got
I was thinking of taking a walk you see
as walking is quite the luxury
the recent weather frosty and cold
did not encourage or make me bold
staying indoors where it was warm
was the best choice but a little forlorn
the house is quiet just me and one dog
she’s sleeping away just like a log
under the covers way out of sight
where she spends her days with the utmost delight
the other dog the one name Pete
is in doggy hospital which is no treat
for he has a breathing complaint
coughing and wheezing in a terrible state
he will stay in their care for a couple of days
and hopefully be back home to his normal ways
in the meantime what shall I do
as I look at the screen without a clue
I need to think of something to write
interesting enough to give delight
to others who want to read my stuff
and have not yet had enough
although I do not write for them
the words I hope have a special blend
and will satisfy my mind
on this rainy day when the weathers unkind.
