While Your Gone

By Ro Wallen

What am I to do? I have played with all my stuff, looked at all my books (just don’t want to read them). Went for a walk, ok just around the house. Thought about drawing something, couldn’t decide if I should use a pencil or a pen, so did not use either. Sigh. Petted the dog, watched the cats lay around, prayed for rain, because that’s what people do. Looks like a really nice day, if the wind wasn’t blowing and it wasn’t so cold. Maybe I could watch some TV, Oh No, there isn’t anything on to watch. Where are all the good shows? NEWS! Not going there,just upset me. Maybe I should get something to eat! No bread! What good is peanut butter without bread? OK tearing through the cupboards, found some crackers! Oh, crackers and cheese! No cheese. Oh Oh! Cereal! No milk! Chips! Yuck! How old are these things? Water, I know we have that. Wait! What is this? A jar of pickles! Some crackers and peanut butter! A feast!………Now my tummy is upset……Maybe a nap?………..Your Home!!! And you brought me cookies and milk and the TV shows are on and…..I love You!!!………..RO
