NO SLEEP ON SATURDAYS

Although sleep keeps calling me back

The feel of whiskers on my face beckons

I try softly brushing them away

They disappear but are back again in seconds

I turn over and hear a meow

While paws wrap around my knees

A furry body suddenly nestles against me

Gee, I hope I don't get fleas

Warm and cozy, I drift back to sleep

I am awakened to the sound of pacing

Should I ignore it and hope it goes away

I groan and sit up with my heart racing

I crack open my eyes and take a peep

There he is just pacing round the bed

Just waiting for me to give the nod

And up he jumps just barely missing my head

Great! The other one is up now

The bed is a bouncing

One is just jumping up and down

While the other takes a trouncing

I quietly slip off the bed and pad down the hall

Blanket and alarm clock in hand

I barely make it to the couch

While feline feet run after me in demand
