Sitting in my recliner chair
That squeaks with even
The slightest shift
Now to relax
Just for one moment
For a so desperately needed nap.
Cleo the little "princess"
With those round brown eyes
Oh god not that look
I can feel my resolve
Dissolving like sugar in coffee.
Alright up you get
Not that an invitation was required
She knows the softened face.
Squeeeeak
A little settle in
And I can feel sleep…
No that’s not sleep I feel
Oh Nova really?
There isn’t any…
Squeeeeeeak squeeeeeak
Oh fine just stop moving so much!
I’m starting to think
Sleep is evading me yet again
Maybe there’s something on…
No! Mickey! There’s no…
Squeeeeak
Ok ok are you comfy on my foot ?
Thanks for joining us.
Now about that Netflix
No…no…no
I don’t want to hear it
Lalala I can’t hear you.
Right now?
Oh muse
My love for you is almost
Equal to my dismay
You really pick the most inopportune moments
Phone above my head
Being nudged by wet wriggly noses
My finger types feverishly
Writing and writing
Til there are no more words
Til the blank screen
Is filled with black.
The muse is sleeping
But you guessed it
I’m wide awake
