Sleeping Problems

My day is finally complete I can now rest my head Next to my wife There, sleeping in bed The doors are all locked I have turned off the lights I’ve checked all the kids And I’ve kissed them goodnight The windows are shut The thermometer is set Everything is now quiet As I rest then my head But alas, there’s a noise So quickly I rise I run to the kitchen While rubbing my eyes Where there in the corner Just waiting to relieve Is the family dog, Lucky Who whimpers to me So I unlock the door Turn on the backyard light I tell her to go out And make it quick on this night I’ve work in the morning I must soon retire But the dog did not hear me As she ran, like on fire She cornered a critter Who crawled under the fence Then so did the dog So outside I went When the door had shut closed It locked fast behind I hadn’t a key I then lost my mind For the dog had come back With no way to get in As I in my skivvies Was sporting a grin I knocked on the door As loud as could be The whole house had awakened And just laughed at me So back to bed they went I double checked all again Then quickly ran to bed And out then I went
