Must Be Seven AM

Accidental Poet



 

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

      It's a conspiracy, our dogs are in cahoots. 🤔 Thanks N.

      Wow, I can really relate to this. I've been trying to find the snooze button on my black Labrador for ages. 🙂

        I suspect our dogs are secretly meeting behind our backs and talking about their pets (us). Next Orchi will drop in with stories of Fido. 🐶

        • Tom C Dylan

          Good point well made, AP. I think they definitely discuss us in secret! 🙂

        • orchidee

          Good write AP. lol.
          Fido always wakes up KP. I trained him to! lol.

          • Accidental Poet

            aah, I think you've got that backwards Orchi, maybe you mean Fido has you trained? 🐶🤔

            • orchidee

              Yes, Fido has me trained, AND I trained him to wake up KP every day on purpose. lol.

              For me it’s my cats. The howling is a fine alarm. Lol

              • Accidental Poet

                meow meow meow meow meow. ( human translation - feed me feed me feed me feed me feed me)😁

                • GenXer Shamrocker ☘️

                  lol yes all the time. Or attention.

                  I think that hound has you by the tail......no, sorry he'd got the tail...
                  I know of a cat (not mine)who does the same thing with immaculate timing , only it's a paw, a butt and if all else fails a sit on the head...
                  You're probably better off, AP.

                    Thanks Dave. Ok Satuit, the howling is good, howl all you want. 😉

                  • Thomas W Case

                    Lol, I love it. My kittens pull some real funny stuff.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      Thanks Thomas. They aren't plotting against you, are they? I can see it in the headlines, "Man attacked by kittens and held hostage for toys." 😯

                    • Teddy.15

                      Wakey wakey lol that dog is your new found business my dear A.P you look like a fab team. 💜

                      • Accidental Poet

                        Thanks Teddy, that's my buddy Satuit. 😁👍

                        I can't avoid a smile as I read this "delight" While I never had the experience of being awoken by a four legged friend, I did have a dog addicted to walks. All I had to do was head for the closet that held the leash, and she went berserk, I hardly had the leash on when she'd pull me out the door. They are insistent, but we do love them. I just loved this poem!

                          Thanks Bella. It just amazes me how he'll wake me up every morning at exactly 7 AM. 😁

                          • Bella Shepard

                            Apparently he has his alarm set.
