Promise not to get drunk
late at night and
order way too many
books from Amazon.
Promise not to
get angry
when your little dog
rips my shirt and
screams in my ear
when my big dog’s
food bowl is empty.
Who’d have thought
he’d train his own assistant?
Promise not to send you
to bed before
eight. Unless you’re
really tired. Unless it’s
a really BIG game.
Promise I’ll record
The Young & The Restless.
Promise to buy you
fresh flowers every week
until the money runs out.
Because they remind me of
you on your days off.
Just what do you mean by
“too many books?”
