Look what we miss while we are asleep!

While Humans Sleep


 



As the house hold settles down for a long nights rest
Little do they realize the work some of us do
They will notice we weren’t chewing on a shoe
We have a reputation to uphold and to be our best



We get on the internet and balance their checking book
Scavenge through the house,
In search of a maybe mouse
In every cranny and nook



But what the humans don’t know
Is that we need more entertainment
We play internet games for spiritual containment
We don’t have time for any TV show



They wonder why we sleep all day
We appear groggy and sleepy all the time
They think we were dipping in their wine
We love our night time play

A delightful write, Helen. Now I know why so many cats do seem to snooze most of the day. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

lol. Thoroughly enjoyed your cat who balanced your checkbook. I have three cats and I can't get a bit of work out of them. Love the poem. Liz

Helen,
I like the way you fool around with the lines, rhyming the first and last together and the middle lines together. That's cool!
And I love your perception of the hidden lives of pets. Your pet friends are grateful for your understanding, I'm sure.

Love,
Connie
