Totally Inconsiderate

"You woke me up at midnight.
I told you your curfew is 10.
I had to get out of bed to open the door.
Don't let it happen again.
I am trying to talk to you.
I don't think you've even heard."
The scottie dog just hung his head
And never said a word.

At first I thought it was some sort of teenager (human), but I liked the dog ending as well too.

I wonder if it's possible to train dogs to tell time o_O

[unsinkmolly]

Hah! Great surprise!!!!

[jamielou]

Thank you all for your replies and Alan of course dogs can learn to tell time. They just need the right teacher.

Jamielou;
I don't have that problem with our two obnoxious dogs. My wife always lets them out while I sleep the sleep of the righteous. Yours is an amusing poem; much liked.

Makes me think of a mother having to answer the call of her wee child. Maybe the husband should answer the call net time.

The shock or suprise ending when done well, can really be effective as it was in your poem.I have an image of a cute Scottie dog outside the door looking up on you.Lol.

Ha, Ha!
I think the dog is the one in charge. The ending was a good twist and took me away from remembering those years of being a mom to teenagers. I could not go to sleep until all the family members were in for the night. The only time my husband took charge was when he thought I was 'too charged emotionally' and he would usher me to bed and talk calmly to 'one' who stayed out late.
