Snow Day
The cat jumps off the bed.
I wish he would wake her up instead.
I sneak in.
I almost trip over a bin.
Why am I being quiet now?
I have to wake her, anyhow.
I see her roll away.
Which makes me not want to stay.
But I must give her a shake.
So she will be awake.
In time for school today.
I wish there was a different way.
But then I think to check the forecast.
It’s snowy and overcast.
The school is empty, the school is closed!
So I don’t make her get her school clothes.
I almost caused a disaster.
But the snow comes down faster.
The cat climbs back on the bed.
I pet his soft fur, which is red.
Then I leave her alone.
I play on my phone.
Tomorrow, school will be in session.
But for now, I let her sleep in.
