Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for June 10, 2022

And let’s not forget things to lick.

Nope, dogs don’t do regret.

The answer to the number two one has gotta be another dog.

Every day I sit here by my PC (Pee, see?)

Staring at the plain white screen in front (what affront)

Looking out for stuff that makes me laughin’ (ha ha ha)

Lookin’ out for “things” that I might want

(Lookin’ out things)

Like mailmen to bite and to bark (things)

Like a treat to eat in the dark (things)

Like a sniff with pride (ya ya)

What about the night I howled

For things to roll in, Woooow!

Things that I don’t regret now

Things to eat again till I throw up as I used to do

Or that go bump in the night things. Stranger things.

I’d never get anything done without lists. The satisfaction is crossing off each item.

That’s my dogs daily “to do” list.

Things to Chase. Things to Fetch. Things to Bury. Things to Dig up.

Funny, all the links go to the same site, called “everything”,

Burma Shave.

Things to avoid: vacuum cleaners.

No ‘Things to chew’?

Missed “things to pee on” and “Yards to poop in”.

I didn’t know the Dogpile search engine was still around.

I’m not buying that last thing.
