Hungry Doggerel

Roses are red
Violets are bluish;
I can’t tell a lie
And say I am fluish.

Orchids are white
And last quite a while;
Today’s post in time
I just cannot file.

I feel like a dope
And a bit of a jerk
But the idiot dog
Ate all my work.

Missing a day
Fills me with sorrow;
Nevertheless,
Please come back tomorrow.
