Were You Sleeping? Poem by samuel nze

Were You Sleeping?



Were you sleeping on duty?
Who - me?
What do you mean, me?
Weren't you asleep?

O dear
I guess I was!
I did not sleep last night.
And why not?

Well, it's like this
The cat harried the mouse
From nine to six
No sleep was possible.

To whom are you wed?
It is not hard to guess -
I am the mouse,
She is the cat.
