nighttime commando
where does your patrol take you
when you leave the bed?
-------
do you protect your
food?, your water? your toys? or
maybe dad, who sleeps?
-------
a taste of food -small
crunching noises in the dark
the sound of water
-------
water being drunk,
making sure no night goblins
have been partaking
-------
a peek thru the shades
at the world gone dark then a
look thru the front door
-------
private Katz reports
back to the snoring lump that
dreams under blankets
-------
back onto the bed
"remain sleeping dad, every
thing is safe and sound"
