A Little Weekend Poem (probably NC-17ish)

First day of my weekend and all through my head,
happy thoughts were free-flowing as I lie in my bed,
Off work for four hours and sleeping for three,
when the room door flew open someone screaming at me!
"That God damn dog chewed through his collar,
what time he broke loose I haven't an idear,"
I flew from my bed and put on a hat,
and took to the hood, It's Detective Matt,
Alone on the case as my partner drove East,
a lunch meeting today? Judist Priest!
I did two / three miles licketty split,
talked to some workers, had seen nothing "Oh shit!"
I headed back home to get on my bike, pumped air in the tires, oiled chain and the like,
Hit the pavement to cycle went to close garage door, a wagging tongue showed up
"where we goin,' to the store?"
He found his way home, I re-phoned the County
left a message "he's back" I will pay you no bounty,
Where he'd gone he won't say, I really don't care,
now in his steel cage "solitary for heem," the perfect escape or so it would seem,
He was only just doing what young puppies do, sowing his oats hunting a wabbit or two,
All's well that ends well or so it is said, he'll try to escape again now my story you've read,
On with the blog a poet I'm not, I need some more sleep I am still pretty shot."

Pretty sure I should be in that photo
I am not really sure why I decided to put this morning's recent fun into poem form but it just stuck in my head that way. I amcinfident it will become an instant international sensation. It is tough to come right out of doing poetry (I use the term very loosely) and start writing like I usually do.

Maybe Jeff just figured I needed some exercise? Now I have a couple of loads of laundry going and I may try to go back to sleep. I think we are headed to Chicago about 15:00-16:00 to watch the taping of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" after Cha Cha gets home from her lunch meeting.

How come, every time you try to sweep out the garage the wind is blowing into your garage?

That poem, along with scouring the neighborhood, took a little longer than I had planned so I need to wrap-up and get some household chores done. I will blog again tomorrow and we have to record the new show tomorrow too. We have another artist (musical) to add to our show this week; I love how these songs and artists seem to just show-up. We have turned people onto so many great musicians over the years and I really take great pride in spreading the joy of music. Okay, enough! Have a great day and night. I will talk at you tomorrow. TTTT...MITM (out) ZZZZZZ? (probably not)
