A stifled yawn
heard inside the cave.
Something moves within
a grunt of hunger pain.

A whiff of air swooshes in
A pert nose sniffs at it,
Honey aroma teasing
tickling the senses.

He awakes with more grunts
Stretches, scratches, stretches.
'Amble along now',
urged his inner voice.

Hurry not though
for it won't run away.
But dally not with time
Hunger might overtake.

And with a heave of sigh
he sat upright in the cave.
Rubbing the sleep away
stretching yet again.

Oh botheration!
It smells like yonders away.
Come now, come,
A quick leap will do!

A lumbering shadow
emerges into the light.
Paw imprints wedged into the earth
pauses, deep in thought.

It's too much of a trouble!
It's too much of a hassle!
Rest will subdue hunger.
There's still 'morrow anyway.

And with that he smiles,
lumbers back into the cave.
Flops to the ground thinking,
Yes, there's still tomorrow.
