We've just begun a Sunday like any other

Except this one begins a week uncovered

Marking another year on the larger slate

(A celebratory day's within week's dates)



A day (whence come) - to treat oneself well

For there's nobody around with whom to jell

But that's okay, for all one needs is some hugs

And those you can easily get - from the old dog



- Tristram
