Attack of the Little Furry Monsters

Waking up to a blaring sound.

Blurry eyed I crawl out of bed,
Unaware of what's around.

Not ready to start the day,

But know I have to.

Brush teeth though still asleep.

Try not to fall over while putting on clothes.

Reflection staring at me as I untangle my hair;

Looking as tired as I feel.

Finally it’s time to face the day.

I go outside to embrace the day,

But I am hit with horror instead.

Ready to scream I look at the destruction that as gone on.

Holes dug.

Petals pulled.

Leaves chewed.

What creature caused this mayhem?

Then I see.

Not creature, but creatures are the culprits.

They look up at me daring me to scream.

But I can’t.

I am speechless as I see them rip my flowers.

Their small clawed paws tear at the defenseless leaves.

White teeth ripping without any care to what they've done.

They are my little furry monsters.
