I am the watcher of the phone, the catcher of the beeps. I guard the door and knocks abhor while my beloved sleeps. In his recliner, he reclines, and I prolong his doze, For all the while he power naps, I watch the cooking shows. When he awakens, he will find that slumber tooks its toll. His weariness and slothfulness, Lost him the remote control.
