Wet dog
Wet dog walked
in the rain to the village
of Wet Dogs.
"My wealthy aunt lives there.
She has her own dog house.
She might have
some leftovers to eat,
she will share with me."
The aunt sleeps
on a straw bed.
She has her own blanket.
The blanket is full of fleas,
like the aunt.
It doesn't matter
she is on the chain.
She gets to eat for barking.
"I know how to bark.
I hope the rain will stop soon.
I would like to get
to Wet Dogs dry.
She might find me a job,"
the dog was dreaming about.
Doggie, were are you going?
You are not pure breed dog,
you are just common mongrel
who crawled to the pub's
basement for the night.
"Just to get dry,
so I could keep walking
to my aunt in Wet Dogs."
During the night a robber
got in to the basement.
The dog barked,
he was loud,
and hold the robber behind.
The pub owner came down
and turned on the light.
"You are some kind
of the dog,"
he praised a canine.
"You cannot stay
in the cellar.
I have a dog house
after old Stella
you might like."
So the dog didn't arrive
to his aunt in Wet Dogs,
he stayed in Good Deal town.

An object
Today topic is: a meaning of object. Big question mark. I am afraid I do not understand this topic I have to write something about. What kind object? First what popped into my head: It must be UFO, or does it means a philosophical meaning of object? It doesn't exist. Everybody is already writing.I am panicking. I have to pick up any object. What about this long conference table we are sitting around? It is a good solid object made out of the wood. Is it an oak? No, probably not. The oak has more yellow color. It is varnish anyway. Actually it is not one long table, but two tables put together. They comfortably seat fourteen people. The tables are located in the library. Is it called a conference room? How many meeting were hold in this room? How many meetings are hold here each week? Some very important decisions are made here. They are important tables. Tables for decisions making.

Forteen cows
Skeletons of fourteen cows
are on the pasture.
They survived winter
and now are greedily
eating short grass.
Ribs covered with skin,
they are so thin.
One month of eating grass
and they will be able
to have calves
and produce milk.
It was long and hard winter.
Cows are feeding in grass.

An apple tree
I wish to be
an apple tree.
In early Spring
they put cow manure
around my roots.
Roses in a flower bed
receive horse fertilizer,
and because it is scarce,
at least rabbits' droppings.
When I am in bloom
all couples are kissing
under my blossoms,
or even doing
something worse.
I need only bees
and bumblebees for that.
Children are climbing
on the top of the tree
to try to eat green apples
and, how clumsy they are,
they brake my branches.
"I tell you all the time:
don't climb the trees."
Children bellies
have rash from sour apples.
"Wait, till' be ripe,
then you may harvest them all.
They are for you and deer anyway.
Only leave a few for the birds,
so they could sing for you
at Spring time."
Children do not listen.
They pick all apples
and do not leave anything
for the birds - as usually.
Not even a single apple
fallen under the tree.
I am the apple tree.

The cat again
There is a poop
in a bathtub
and a fur ball
is stretching on a sofa.
Do not sit
on this chair,
it is full of cats' hair.
Do not sit
on that chair,
the cat sleeps there.
He cannot help it,
he has to get rid
of his fur balls.
The cat is our pet
and he feels
as guilty as I am
for not cleaning it
on time.
Do not disturb,
the cat is sleeping now.
