Rooster crowing
getting loud
sky lightening
Ne’er a cloud
Cat purring
Snuggled tight
He’s been there
Through the night
Dog sleeping
Foot of bed
All that I see
Is her head
Birds chirping
Fewer now
As winter
Bends the bough
Snow falling
Lightly here
Barely sticking
Soon to clear
Hubby snoring
Very softly
Soon to awaken
To smell of coffee
Animals begging
To be feed
Rise and shine
Out of bed
Sunday morning
Treasured time
Read the paper
Football pastime
Do some cooking
Pay some bills
Measure out
The week’s pills
Go to Zumba
Take a hike
Read a book
Ride the exercise bike
Not a care
Or a worry
Soon it’s Monday
Better hurry
