The Cat

The lady sleeps Her cat is sleeping Both in deep slumber In the early morn She feels a nudge Eyes open- her cat stares at her Then chirps softly The lady speaks to her cat " It's too early to eat" Time passes then again The cat nudges her To wake up from sleep She looks at the clock It is two in the morn She rolls over dreams Only to awake At six in the morn Now she feels tired From lack of sleep
