Sadness -- a rich feeling

I miss hangin’ with the Boss. He’s on a job outta town and blows in the house now and then to say ‘hi’ to his woman, and he’s off again. I’m happy for ‘im, though, because he seems happy. Me, I got the armadillo to chase and the dog next door to put in his place.

All the same, I miss the boss. I like the way he fuck’s with me: Calls me “Fur Face” and swats my butt when I’m a little tardy to the door. I go outside, I do the obligatory thing, but I’d rather be curled up against his leg, snoozing while he watches football.

Simple thing, really. Life is full of simple things that slip by often unnoticed. Me, all I got is time to watch ‘em slip by. No job, other than chase the armadillo and check out the chicklets. The Boss ain’t got time for the chicklets. Makes me sad.
