How the day looks
Depends
On
How
You
Look at the day

Sweet, Merry Wipe-Day
Born to be at your service
Lives up to her name
Smiling, she cleans the castle
Even leaves the floors gleaming

Oh, wicked, wicked food
Why do you tempt me so
I’ve weight needing to go
You’re everywhere
I plan for healthy meals
Then a friend says let’s eat
Hey, I deserve a treat
And I cave in
I might as well be friends
With the choices I make
Just one more bite to take
And buy new clothes

This week, Charli Mills’s prompt was to write about a disabled Vet and a newly released prisoner who trained a dog named Buttercup to be of service to that Vet. Here is what I came up with. Make sure you connect with a terrific writing community on the ranch, the Carrot Ranch!
Gail leaned over in her wheelchair and smiled at the furry little family.
“Buttercup, you’re such a good mother! Your loving pups will one day mean as much to others as you mean to me!”
Gravel crunched under the weight of truck tires. Loretta was here. Gail couldn’t breathe. It was time to say goodbye.
“Well, here they are, Loretta. Five enthusiastic recruits for the program. I’m sure the ladies who will train them will do as wonderful a job as you did with Buttercup!”
“Thank you, Gail. I get more out of this program than words can say!”
