Special Guest

What luck!
A special guest for Thanksgiving.
An intrepid traveler.
Faithful companion.
Friend of all friends at J's preschool.
And on Thanksgiving week,
Luck of the draw,
PICO!
The stuffed monkey
Came home with James.
When I got home,
James was cooking Pico's dinner -
The red rubber lobster
Beppy brought on her last visit from Maine.
Such treatment!
But what can we say?
An honored guest,
Now asleep beside James
Upstairs in the big boy bed.
