If I Could Just Keep My Eyes Open

It’s hard out there for a cat trying to write…

Oh, dear me

I dare say, it’s so hard to write

When I can hardly keep my eyes open

All the words are starting to look alike

I am reading the same lines over and over

Somebody, stop me please

I can’t go on like this

Oh, snap

I need a nap

Brilliant!!! You deserve Leo Tolstoy’s poem of the week.

Excellent poem. I hope you get your nap. I need them sometimes. Last night I fell right asleep, usually I’m up until 7am. Now if only my daughter weren’t such an early bird..
