Sorry for the delayed message
I was busy with the family
You know how it is during holidays
I’d started to write
I’d even saved some treats
Then I got a little hungry
And ate every bit of it
But I know you are not greedy
You’ve already been overfed
With all the cookies you loved
And the ones you disliked
But still ate to satisfy the sentiments
And then took December 26th appointment
With the nutritionist
To get back in the 44 regular size
Instead of now being fifty
Now the meat of this conversation
Here’s my belated wish list
But first I want to wish you
Your wife and all the elves
Even the Mr. Grinch who stole the Christmas
Just so that you know I’m just as nice
You’ve seen it all
You’ve read my record book
I’ve wagged my tail with happiness
I did all the tricks for humans
Even when they didn’t know what they were doing
I was well party trained
So I can’t be blamed for oops of accidents
Though the kid next to me
Still blamed me for spilling his milk
Eating his broccoli
And breaking that hideous center piece
Not once I complained
I took it all for my family
I even chased away few mice
Since the kitty by my side
Decides to be lazy getting all the concentration
So now I think I deserve your full attention
I don’t ask for much
Just the treats on the top shelf of petsmart
I think you can find them in Petco too
The tug and war toy to strengthen my pull
The denta bones to keep my breath fresh for the date
With foxy neighbor girl
Harley Davidson leather jacket
With matching bandana and hat
To impress the lady out of her wits
If you think appropriate
A sports car for a ride to movie
And long drives with my lady
No dairy products though
No wheat is allowed
Keep away all the chocolates and grapes
Just the regular hearty meals
Which I’m sure are less expensive
Than fancy feats that kitty eats
I didn’t eat the bones from table
It was all kid’s fault
They threw them to me
I ate them only to please them
So, what do you say?
We can let that slide
Look at me, dive into my big puppy eyes
Can you blame me for that deed?
Can you imagine with this puppy face
I am capable of doing anything wrong?
I know you agree with me
So when do I see you next?
I hope soon
And please don’t let any butcher barber get to me
Those spas are very scary
Though I don’t mind a swimming pool behind the house
Where I can take a dip
So, thank you for your patience
I’m glad you agree with me
I’m waiting for your arrival
So please come back with my goodies
With immediate effect!
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Yours Truly,
You know, it's me
