Late Bloomer

We found a pet that matches your search
For a time
He fancied he was popular in your network
but the channel changed .
No one knew
His bark was worse than his bite.
The scientist said it was something in the water
Or
Was it baby formula instead of mother’s milk ?
A galleon of need
in an ocean of leave me alone.

Seemed there was an elusive recipe...
If you could just bake the cookies right...
you could have the taste of spring
the scent of late blooming,
and the heart of summer.
