The lovely and talented Ritu of butIsmileanyway.com has set us all off on Loveuary. I for one am excited with the task. What is love? We shall find out as the month goes on.
les and prompts
Today is Day 21 of Loveuary and I am going to use the prompt of of pets.
Ruby is a working girl on duty night and day
She works so very hard she rarely has time to play.
We were not busy today, my friend and I,
So we dropped in on her as we were passing by.
Ruby was so pleased to see us she could hardly contain herself
She was dashing here and dashing there and knocking things from off the shelf.
It was lovely to escape the three of us to green fields and the sun
We wondered round and round chatting laughing, just having fun.
Then my foot began to itch so I slipped my shoe off on to the grass green
Unfortunately for me there was dog muck there lucking unseen.
That was really nasty an unwelcome surprise People who do not clean up after their dogs really make my temper rise.
So there we were scrabbling in field.
My foot dirty and smelly well that was not in the deal.
But Ruby she was happy she ran and sniffed and played
This was her only time she not have to behave!!
My shoe and and foot duely wiped we just had to laugh
For Ruby was such a joy to see and went I got home I could have a bath.
So finally we walked Ruby back to work,
She was so happy to greet her mistress we could see Ruby was no shirk.
As we walked home we marvelled at her skills
How she worked and her mistress from all ills.
We laughed about my smelly feet and what we would like to do to those who do not clean up after their dogs We decided that they all should be fed to hungry hogs!!!!
Ruby and her fellow working dogs are silent heroes,
Often not thought of and definitely unsung
But my friend and I think they are the best and Ruby is our favourite one!
