How Much Do I Love Thee?

How much do I love thee? Let me count the
ways:
Will I love you when you puddle for nineteen continuous days on
that
Gorgeous Indian blanket that my friends have all admired?
Will I love you when I find you on my pillow when you're
tired?
Will I love your muddy paw prints when you chase a
butterfly
From the garden through the kitchen when the floor wax isn't
dry?
Will I love you when you're shedding and all day I vacuum
hair?
When in digging you demolish ten begonias raised with care?
Will I love you just past midnight when I let you out and
then
I let you in...then let you out.... then let you in again?
Will I love you when you're lunching on a twenty dollar
shoe?
(True you didn't touch the other, but I sorta needed two).
Will I love you as I pay the vet for binding that nasty little
gash
You got while decorating the lawn with all our trash?
Will I love you when you're sandy, dripping water from the
beach
As I chase you 'cross the carpet and you stay just out of
reach?
At these times let me remember how cute you look today
And sigh and tell myself - I love you anyway.
