Prompt: Write a poem in the form of a “to-do list” for an unusual person or character.
Wake up, stretch, look out the window
Say hello, if there’s aught to be greeted
Take a stroll, one or two parents in tow
Then eat breakfast, no need to clean it
Check the house is safe and secure
Take a nap to keep my energy high
Watch, half-awake, lest mom leave her computer
Keep an ear out for canine passersby
Before dinner, best to take another walk
Clean my bowl then find the floor cushion
Evening exercise so the parents can talk
Dental care and then long-sleep again
