Dog Days 2 Poem by Phil Soar

The dogs woke me this morning
How do they know the time?
I'd set alarms, well so I thought
But slept beyond the chimes
And yet my furry friends arrived
And woke me from my dreams
Their skill and manipulation
Is not as bonkers as it seems

I smiled at their performance
As I opened weary eyes
The look upon their faces
Was like they had won a prize
And so I rose out of my bed
To yaps and wagging tails
This skill they have at greeting me
Never ever fails
