Simplicity rearranged

unmonetizable content since 1997


Department Of Gruff (DOG)

Every room inside my house
has a comfy spot that’s mine.
I use each one of them to lounge
But only one at a time
.

It’s a slightly vexing issue.
Much like that thing with treats:
I only have a single mouth
that I can use to eat.

Those birds are so much better
’cause it only takes one woof
and all of them will fly away
(at least as far as the roof)

I bet it’s true with squirrels
that one chase will work for three.
But they’re only brave enough for one
to come (because of me!)

But if a group would venture
to come down from their tree,
I’d scare them back all as a bunch
And that’s efficiency!

About Me

I’m Pete Harbeson, a writer (among other things) located near Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to writing my own content, I’ve learned to translate for my loquacious and opinionated pup Chocolate Bossypaws. No surprise, she mostly speaks in doggerel. You can find her contributions tagged with Chocolatiana.

Check out my other blog, Techlimitics, where I’m grappling with the nature of simplicity. You can also find some of my minor software projects at GitHub. Nothing very impressive. I mostly write tiny utilities in Python.

I find myself suddenly de-corporatized (their choice, not mine). To help keep the lights on, buy me a coffee!
