Yard Work Day...;-)

Rufuz is no slouch,
He does his fair share,
Once i get him off of his couch...



Poem Artwork

So I live in a campground,

I still take care of my ground,

As does Rufuz, he helps me,

He even does it, basically, for free…

 

Leaves we left since last fall,

Got rid of them finally today,

Though out of bed Rufuz had to get a call,

Its easier to get to see the president,

Rufuz does regularly before awakening stall…

 

But once he is outside and working,

Of his job you won’t see him shirking,

He does his fair share with the rake,

I pay him later with a bone from my steak…

And here I thought that it's a dog-eat-dog world. Reminds me of a joke that I'd best not relate here. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON YARDWORK! Wednesday 4/22 it was 75F here. The next day it never got above 25 with snow and wind. Perhaps you'd loan me your doggie for awhile, as I'm having a miserable time getting my yard cleaned up. But I suppose that's the price one pays for living in Paradise.

Rufuz...you're such a handsome lad
and oh, so helpful to your Dad
Next time you do work with the rake
tell Dad to leave more meat on the bone of the steak!
Blessings and Love to you and to Dad! - Micke

Ed, thanks for the delightful, lighthearted reverie. Can I borrow Rufuz? I have three dogs, one is an old grouch, one is barking so loud all the time she doesn't hear instructions let alone follow them and the little one thinks she is a princess! Did you ever try to get a princess to week a flower bed or hold a rake? Not happening. Be well, Kathy

Just a bone? Sounds to me like he's vastly underpaid. And I hope he doesn't complain to my dogs - they've recently unionized, and now have negotiated a great pay scale with fringe benefits, health care, free lunches, and a lengthy vacation package.
