Ignored my plaintive whispers
Paid no attention to my pleas
On Sunday had to call the vet- the dog came down with fleas
It’s time to get my blog on
And all you do is tease
As I sit and stare in horror at these damn computer keys
When it seems that I’m most distant
That’s when you’re nestled in my mind
Insects are revolting and quite a bit unkind
When I told you that I needed help
You said you’re not inclined
To help me with my edits, the nastiest bugs I’ll find
Hated to see my canine scratchin’
Bitin’ at her tiny little thigh
It seems like you forgotten that it’s on you, whom I rely
My draft’s in a state of languish
You know the reasons why
But all you said was see ya, gotta go, so long, bye-bye
Got sidetracked with life’s minutiae
Cried my eyes out ’til they’re raw
No, I swear, you must believe me, I never stopped to draw
I’ve got to write some words down
My creative flow has got a flaw
I realized this had happened as I was poking at her paw
Debuggers helped my dog’s morale
She runs and barks, is grateful
I must admit I’m happiest when I see her playful
I’d like to pen some rhymes again, a poem, a verse or two
But here I sit, beside myself, all in all, just fretful
I must believe in you, my muse, you’ve always been most faithful
