Dear Aunt Beth
Dear Aunt Beth
The weirdest thing happened
You won't believe this.
Julia and her roommates
wrote a thank-you note to you
for some treats you sent them
I notice you didn't send treats to me
but there is neither here nor there.
Where was I?
Oh--the note
Well first a big wind came along
and it blew the note into a puddle
or a lake
Some body of water.
I tried to rescue it
by ever so gently
picking it up in my mouth
I set it on a surface --
like it was maybe a table?
The next thing I know
The cats were walking out of that room
Licking their lips
I'm not accusing anyone of anything
but it was sketchy
They placed the damaged note
near my chew toys
So anyway
Glad to be of service
Love, Gus
