Alex is not here

If I seem a bit cantankerous today,
You'll understand once I've had my say.

Alex is not here, I came alone.
This is the kind of thing that makes me groan.

A scheduling conflict keeps Alex away,
And that is why I'm not so chipper today.

On the occasion of
America's Finest Felines
putting on
Summer Days
in
Arcadia
on June 13^th, 2015.

Also the occasiion of Alex begin in Washington State at a different cat show.
