Dear Guy Tozzoli:
You always called Me
“The World’s Greatest Artist”
You said
“You’re The Greatest Woman To Ever Live”
–
You provided the rectilinear framework
I provided The Nautilus
–
Am I Not
“The Face Who Launched A Thousand Ships?”

Last Night @ 7:15
Mumbo reappeared
at Our Front Door
She spent The Night
on the floor of Hunter’s Room
on a sheep fleece
and greeted Me This Morning
when I called Her “Mumbolette”
She took 2 laps of water, no treats
and Hunter decided to give Her
a Cortisone Pill
She sat on the mat by the kitchen door
but We wouldn’t let Her Out
Even Then She Vanished
I looked all over the house
including the basement
and just now found Her
upstairs under Our Bed
