Midnight Sonnet for my Human.

(Howled to the tune of Memory, from the musical CATS)

Daylight
I make dew on the weed flowers
And arose and I'm swaying
Noses smelling the day
Like the scents

I yearn to turn my face to the dawn

I am waiting for the day . . .



Midnight

There's my sound from the pavement

Has my human lost her memory?

She is grinding her teeth

In the lamplight

The humans stomps at her feet

And the hound begins to moan



Memory

All alone in the moonlight

I can howl really loudly

I was beautiful then

Human remembers the time of silence

Let the memory live again



Every critter

Seems to howl a loud warning

And the poodle mutters

And the doghouse is cluttered

And soon it will be morning



Daylight

I must wait for the sunrise

I must think of my loud howls

And I musn't give in

When the dawn comes

Tonight will be a memory too

And a new day will begin



Burnt out earplugs of human

The cold sound of my snoring

The moon is gone, I'm lazy

Another day is dawning



Touch me

It's so easy to leave me

All alone cause I'm snoring

In my days in the sun

If you touch me

You'll understand what crankiness is



Look

A new day has begun
