I Rest No More

In my great room I relax Staring at my surroundings The lighten curio shelters Trinkets of horses and dolphins Atop the curio A Brazilian lady of porcelain Sitting shirtless, her head rests in her palm Beside her on center wall Painted charcoal black, the family tree Pictures dangle on leafless branches Standing tall, a teepee shaped lamppost Brightening and complimenting the oriental carpet The twenty year sentimental object in the corner Is Patrick, the fluffy dog beanbag Shylo, the go-happy Malti-poo on her lap She barks at the sighting of a Golden Retriever Sipping my scotch from my crystal, I comfortably rest My feet upon the ottoman and my buttocks in my dad's chair Shylo speaks at a passer-bye Excitingly, she jumps on my jewels...Ouch ! She spills the half full glass of fine scotch, clenched to my fingers With her moistened tongue she licks my nose I rest no more
