I’m sorry but I must admit
That I have read this book
There’s no point of rereading it
As if I overlooked
Unobvious important signs
That I did much appreciate
I changed my surreptitious mind
To set the fresh update
I’ve come to see your apple tree
It’s such a lovely day!
You smiling face looks down on me
Don’t worry now, please stay
Come to the table, have some wine
Pour some for me, like then
In good old days, when you were mine
And I was your best friend.

When she entered the French tea house, we all fell in line.
Everything about her was elegant, she was amazing and refined.
The embroidered frogs on her hand-designed jacket, the latest style.
She outclassed the queen of society, Cam Collie by at least a mile.
I could see Cam Collie was angry by flash of her dark brown eyes.
Delicate, daring, deliberately dashing Dalmatian was such a surprise!
At her neck was a beautiful Swedish hand-embroidered ruffle of lace.
Cam so jealous and green, I wished I could see her angry face.
Dame Dalmatian of Dorcanshire my friend Delia whispered in delight.
Had heard of her beauty, now knew the rumors were sound and right
She was sporting the ultimate creation on her unobvious in the air head.
Hat with striped ribbons, puffed balls, netting; could wake up the dead.
Whispers around tea house as majestic female sat, I might mention.
Put up pinky paw, and was served by two who fought over her attention.
D.D. was majestic, elegant, refined, lady-like and seemed unaware.
Cam Collie gave her the meanest look, a jealous woman-dog stare.

My desk is so off-putting no one comes in here.
Even my boss walks gingerly, and jumps at the slightest movement
It could be mice snakes, alligators. I attract the unobvious.
I have taught two of my daughters this secret
A major life skill if you want others to not disturb you,
Not make suggestions, and not burden you with their humdrum noise.
One daughter did not learn this skill.
She cleans, organizes, and puts underpants into drawers.
Much prissier than I would ever be.
Much more friendly.
Weirdly enough, seems to like drop-in company
Which we other three would not abide for a second.
