Outside!
I started the day with a hoodie and a jacket.
Then I dumped the jacket.
A little while later, the hoodie went, and the truth of the matter was that it was a tad chilly, but man, it felt great!
Sun on the face!
I got home and saw all the pets coming for me.
“Who wants to go outside?”
They all would’ve yelled:
“Me! Me! Me!” If they could.
So, I let them go and opened the door a bit so they could come in if they wanted.
I was working on reports when the old dog came up the stairs.
She’d had enough.
It’d been a half an hour, though, so I went to check.
Before getting to the door the cat was there:
Bitching about something.
“Where is he?” I asked.
“OLIVER!”
I ducked outside and saw it.
A brand new hole under the fence!
Panic!
“OLLIE!!”
He came around the corner, in the neighbor’s yard.
Looked at me, and then…
…ran!
Its gonna’ be a long summer!
I grabbed him and carried him back to the house.
He was panting heavily.
If he could talk he’d say just one word:
“OUTSIDE!!!”
