POWER ASSIST

“POWER ASSIST”

By Jonathan Caswell

Since we’ve had power assist

There’s one thing that we have missed…

The need to plunge

All of that grunge

As a weekly scheduled tryst.

The noise at six A.M.

I’ll never get used to then,

It sounds rather loud…

I’m convinced a crowd

Awakens all over again!

“KA-WUSH-KA”, the word I use,

To warn the cat during his snooze

That a flush will occur,

Sometimes he’s a blur

As the noise sets off his short fuse.
