HEY!! I'VE GOT A BONE TO PICK WITH YOU!!

i was surprised this morning
not seeing the man rushing outside
like he usually does,
leaving me behind...

i'm not complaining,
as we got to cuddle most of the morning.

but where i have a bone to pick with him
is when he told me
he had the day off
because of saint-jean baptiste...

who the heck is saint-jean-baptiste?
what's a patron-saint?
why do quebeckers get the day off?
where can i get myself one of those patron-saints???
why won't anyone explain these things to me??
BTW,
ticklebear told me
it would be the polite thing to do here,
so here goes:
"bonne saint-jean baptiste!!"
whatever that means...
