Doggy Doldrums
Two cats are in my doggy bed.
The weather outside is cold.
My mistress is busy with all her chores,
As fall turns from cool to cold.
The rain continues pouring down.
There's nothing for me to do,
But sit here in my window seat
And watch the puddles, pool.
FedEx man at the doorbell.
Kids trudging home from school.
A dog being walked in front of the house,
Would make this boredom less cruel.
Oh for a foraging squirrel,
Or a stray cat passing by.
A reason for me to growl and howl,
Instead of just sit here and sigh.
It’s sad, but it gets even worse than this,
As the bitter cold days are born.
The monotony will grow with the falling snow,
While my doggy doldrums wear on.
