Morning Darkness - Aabb

Alarm goes off, my sleep it breaks The dogs are awake The house is cold My bones creek as I am old Another morning up to early My eyes are still blurry Darkness still upon us Take a few minutes to adjust The wind is cold as it blows Another morning of extreme lows As I quickly open the door As the dogs race across the floor Dogs please come in Calling again and again Stubborn they will be As they continue to ignore me Quickly the food is served Their hunger is finally curved The water is all around They look for scraps to be found Too early for coffee The husband is up and groggy Maybe some tea A good breakfast is the key Off to work he goes Back to sleep I will go The dogs are sleeping on their bed As I rest my tired head
