"Bark!"

Blog 243:

Two ‘riotous friends’ wake
And begin frolicking about
In their daily lively ways
First they race to wake up their Masters
Still snoozing … catching extra Zzzzzzzzz’s
Hoping to pick up more energy for the new day …
But not today
Today they create raucous to startle
Today they make sure uproar happens
Today they must rollick quickly
And announce an intruder lurking
At the gates … embarking on an entry
Into their safe harbors …
“Bark!”
“AAaaaaaaarff!”
“Bark!” I say. “Wake up now!” the older one insists.
“Arrrrrf!” says the younger one
“Wake up! Wake up!” they both shout this time.
Masters awake and calm them, but to no avail
They mellowed not
Until Masters discover
A ferocious-looking fox lurking at the doors!
