Summertime

It's like living on a boat
not the "let's have rum drinks while sitting on the fan tale and complain about docking fees"
living on a boat
fantasy
but the real life
everything I own is wet and mouldy
reality

I feel like Opus in Bloom County
a penguin that has a chronic personal moisture issues
but I digress..

the cat
he hates the rain
any kind of moisture really
he hates each individual drop

right now
he has been out doing his morning routine
checking the perimeter for
who knows what
and now his tail is wet
and of course
this is my fault
because
as his staff
I exist only
to do his
bidding
or I get a quick claw
to my mouldy leg

Summertime and the livin' is easy
