I’m sorry Rufuz…

Only for myself today did I care,

My feelings here do I bare,

I just tried to get off of work so hard,

I just hope of me your feelings are not scarred,

You are, you should know, my very bestest pard…

Ran out the door,

To work I had to do so we are not poor,

Upset though I was,

I should have remembered to leave you a snack,

Surprised am I that when I came through the door,

You did not of me attack…

I did walk you before I left,

I left you fresh cold water too,

But for dinner you had to wait till after midnight,

I sincerely hope you did not feel in anyway bereft…

Heading home I was quite worried,

In fact, even in the rain, I hurried,

To get home to my pal, my buddy, my dog most loyal,

To treat you for the rest of the weekend,

Like someone near a king, at least most royal…
