Is it time to get up?
by Duncan MacKellar
Ho hum, is it time to get up?
How long have I been asleep?
Are you aware it's freezing out there?
The snow is three feet deep!
What do you mean by waking me up?
This cold is just insane.
An Arctic hare or a polar bear
Would feel the need to complain!
A tortoise needs a lot of sleep
So I'll carry on if I may.
It's far too wet to get up yet,
Try again on a sunnier day.
I don't know why you're bothering me,
I've important things to do.
I need to dream and plan and scheme,
Wake me up with a better view.
Put me back in my box again
With all that lovely straw.
Do the right thing, wait until spring
When the wind is not so raw.
Ah, that's better, it's cosy in here,
It all could have ended in grief.
I'm all right now but could do with some chow,
Any chance of a lettuce leaf?
