Night Time Trip


It's midnight, a hunger digs at the pit
must be time for a nighttime trip
quietly making my way to the frig
I trip on a branch, a leftover fort of a sort
meant for the kids

I hop on one foot, hold my toe
and try not to scream
I hear the sound of ice cream
calling my name...
I feel no shame!

I slowly regain my sense of direction
and go for the gold
almost to the mark, my cat dashes past
he swats me with his claws
I cut a flip and land on my hip

Gritting my teeth, I drag myself on the floor
still desperate for the goal
through clinched teeth, I whisper
cat, you'll not see your ninth life
tomorrow you die!

As I pick myself off the floor
with only minutes to spare
I hurry to feel the thrill...
ahhh...ice cream is my fantasy!

BloomingRose, sounds to me like you've got your own Olympics going on over there.
I enjoyed it.

Butterflies, Mint sounds good too!

Dee, I feel like it's an ongoing Olympic game, or maybe it's more like a circus here sometimes, with 2 Cocker Spaniels, a rather fat Siamese cat, a lab (thank the lord she lives outside), 2 kids...eeks! no wonder I need my night time fling, (of a sort that is)
