Weekly Poem: "Time for Treats"

Time for Treats

"Treat, treat, treat?"

Scattered on the floor,

little tuna and chicken goodies.

Treat, treat, treat.

He hovers over the meat cooler,

looking for the biggest packages

of the leanest hamburger.

Treat, treat, treat!

We pick up two buck chuck,

chocolate, Irish Breakfast tea

and German herring at Trader Joe's.

Treat, treat, treat?

At this rate, his Lotto winnings

will not last long.

Licking icing off my fingers

from the cinnamon rolls

good luck brings.

(It brings treats.)
