WHEN I’M NOT THERE
|
I WANT TO TELL A LITTLE STORY ABOUT ME AND ‘SCRUFFY BEAR’
SHE ALWAYS SHARES MY BED WITH ME EVERY TIME I’M THERE
ONE DAY I LEFT THE HOUSE, AND CLIMBED UP TO THE WINDOW TO SEE
WHO THAT LITTLE BEAR WOULD PLAY WITH, I KNEW THAT IT WASN’T JUST ME
‘CAUSE THE OTHER DAY WHEN I CAME HOME, I FOUND A NOTE LAYING ON THE FLOOR
I COULDN’T TELL THE HAND-WRITING, BUT THERE WAS A MARK FROM A LITTLE PAW
IT READ” TO ALWAYS PLAY WITH THE KITTIES,AND ROLL AROUND LIKE YOU’RE IN THE HAY
TO RUN AND JUMP AND MAKE THEM FETCH, ALL THROUGHOUT THE DAY”
THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN NOW AND LONG SHADOWS FILLED THE ROOM
SCRUFFY JUMPED TO THE BED, FLIPPED ON THE LIGHT, HER FRIENDS WOULD BE MARCHING IN SOON
SHE SCURRIED IN PLACE TO MAKE A NEAT SPACE AND BY G-D SHE OPENED A BOOK
I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT THAT SHE’D SIT THERE AND READ IT,SO I CLIMBED UP FOR A BETTER LOOK
THE KITTIES MARCHED IN AND THEY LOOKED UP AND GRINNED AT LITTLE SCRUFFY AS SHE READ
SHE TOLD THEM THE STORY OF ‘GOLDILOCKS', AND MOVED HER PAWS ALL AROUND AS SHE SAT ON THE BED
WHILE THE KITTIES LICKED AND RUBBED ALL AROUND THAT BEAR, ESPECIALLY HER FEET
I REALLY COULD NOT BELIEVE IT, IT WAS AN AMAZING THING I'D SEEN
IT WOULD HAVE MADE A GREAT PICTURE, THOSE TWO KITTIES AND THAT LITTLE BEAR
SO NOW I KNOW WHAT GOES ON AT HOME, WHEN THEY’RE ALONE
AND I’M NOT THERE..............
