Be patient, please. I heard you call. I'm in the kitchen getting lunch. To please you, Dear, I will not stall. I know it's been a while since brunch. I've turned on Garfield for you, Hon. I know you love it; I do too. This afternoon we'll have such fun, but first I have this feast for you. You loved each morsel, I can see. Let's have a nap; then we'll go play. I'll watch you run and climb a tree. We'll have a bright and lovely day. To thank me, you meow and purr, unlike the other friends I've had. To all your wishes, I defer. I say, is that a flea? Egad!
