Waiting
by carolynholm
Cher Madame,
There is very much waiting in this household.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Are you referring to something specific?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Non, non, but there is much time hanging around.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
That’s true. I realize Poppy has to hang around waiting for our walk every day.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Not only the dog waiting for the walk. We are all hanging around waiting. Waiting and waiting for Madame.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
For the evening games, maybe? That’s an activity with a definite waiting element to it. You all have to wait your turn.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Oui, c’est vrai, for playing the games with Madame. Aussi, le wake up in the morning. For the breakfast.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Yes, mornings here are quite a scene, aren’t they? With all of you hanging around, eager to see if Monsieur or I will wake first to feed you. So yes, more waiting.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Enfin, the waiting for dinner.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
Oh, well, we all hang around waiting for dinner. Monsieur hangs around waiting for dinner. I hang around waiting for dinner. The birds at the feeder are hanging around waiting for dinner. I guess you could say, that’s life.
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Oui, c’est la vie. Tout le monde waiting around for dinner. We wait and we wait for the dinner, and Madame gives us a tiny bowl of delicious food. A very tiny bowl. Tiny.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
Dear Puffin,
All this time I thought we were having a conversation that was going to a bleak philosophical place, but this is about your diet, isn’t it?
Love, Carolyn
Cher Madame,
Ahhh, c’est vraiment bleak. Madame is quite correct. The diet she is bleak.
Regards, M. Le Poufin
