a day in the life of a nobody
A day in the life of?
I woke up to a wonderful summer morning
my dog has taken it upon herself to protect
I came for a hug and a bit of the cake, and she
knew I had in the fridge
After breakfast, a banana and a tiny bit of
the cake the dog likes, diabetes is a stern
taskmaster
I tried to write until lunch, but
the dog wanted to walk in the woods, who
I'm to deny her this pleasure of chasing
rabbits into the thicket
I had a late lunch at a nearby café followed
with red wine and the wish I could smoke
again, but that was not on the card.
I sneezed, a haiku appeared:
Poems and flowers
It looks nice, but are
quite useless...
I couldn't find the ending, settled, the bill
drove home to my dog, she was glad to see me
