Morning Wake

She stirs.

The alarm buzzed loudly fifteen minutes ago
  she simply turned it off, sleepy eyed and slow.

Suddenly the covers flip back
 and i am on the floor quickly sacked.

All four paws touch the carpeting once more
 and i follow her till she closes the bathroom door.

At least she's up and will let me out
 and I have to go  hurriedly and soon, no doubt.

Patiently I watch her slowly dress
 she's not full awake, hurry please or there will be a mess.

The kitchen first?  Come on, I've got to go,
 see me standing at the door holding back the flow?

Coffee made, the pot starts to fill and fall
here she comes, the open door to my paniic call.
