She’s somewhat tied up and she’s making me dizzy,
All dashing around like she is, being busy,
The storm got the fences and pulled off the roof
Of the shed, which is anything but waterproof.
With its windows blown in and its roof ripped and tangled
And everything looking a little bit mangled,
She’s wielding a hammer and searching for nails,
So I figure the safest bet here is turn tail…
It’s not that I don’t want to help her at all,
It’s just that she wobbles, is likely to fall…
I do not mind helping, the small dog is hands-on…
Just don’t want to be the soft thing that she lands on.
I thought I’d best help her by staying low-profile
And keeping right out of her way for a good while
I’ll offer a literary service instead…
And proofread a manuscript, safe in my bed.
Good plan, Ani!

You’d make a great poker player, Ani, ( a silly game that humans play with bits of cardboard and little round plastic chips – not the edible kind) … ‘know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to run’. 😀

Indeed, Ani, it is the safest thing to do. I tried to help in the garden when the winds were blowing the bins around but just got in the way, so inside to be safe, warm and cosy. much paw love, Dante the Dawg. xxx

A wise plan, Ani. But keep her from doing too much.. I heard about the storm – late, of course, and I’m just glad that the damage wasn’t worse. The shed can be repaired. Be safe!
