Must Be Seven AM

Suddenly awakened

From a deep sleep

For what reason

I blindly seek

Must be seven AM

As my alarm wails

Although not of electric source

But with four paws and a tail

Satuit, how do you know

The exact time every morning

To wake me up

With a howling warning

You’re putting my alarm clock

Out of a job

Next, you’ll be reaching for the door

And turning the knob

Yes, I know

You’ve got to go out

Just a nudge of my hand will do

You don’t have to shout

Ok, you’ve gone potty

Now I’m going back to bed

My pillow not done with me yet

I’ll try to find the dreams that fled
