Hey, I still got tomorrow off…

presidents day is on Monday, so cool,

maybe since my job is closed & so is school,

Rufuz and I can trip to the beach & look for pools,

little pools of water, trapped on the beach,

till old mom ocean comes back to retrieve them,

at the next high tide, right now out of reach…

we look in those pools for shells, of the conch variety,

very few can be found in summer with the throngs around,

but this time of year,

with the beach so near,

Rufuz and I can go play,

And I can get to say, hey,

I found a conch shell to surround my house with, in summer…

So all residents of the Den, if I seem to be less prolific tomorrow,

you will know why in advance,

Rufuz has taken me to the beach,

To chase the seagulls and poop in the sand,

for some reason I can do better in the sand, than at home,

on the proverbial throne…
