I spilled a fruit-drink
Over my desk and down
The back. "Oh no!" I
Shouted as I always do.
Jessica barked, "What
Now?" She watched me
Intently as I rushed about
Wiping it up
With a towel, using
A cleaner, not getting
It clean enough. She
Sat still watching as
I raised my hands
In apology. "Sorry.
I shouldn't have yelled.
Susan wouldn't have,
But we don't have her
Any more," I said, going
On thinking Jessica
Came later. Susan
Was already gone.
