Notes About The Poem

For The Life of Me She Just Doesn't Get It

For the life of me I don't understand 
I don't understand why she just doesn't understand 
I know that she, like most of us are in our own little worlds 
But honestly, I've told her many times not to wake me up 
The very first thing she does when she wakes up, is wake me up 
Don't get me wrong, I love her wake-up kisses and cuddles 
But sometimes I just need to sleep a little longer and she just doesn't get it 
I have to literally scream and yell at her to leave me alone 
Then, she runs away with her tail down
