Bed, 3 A.M. by David M. Harris

Until 2003, David M. Harris had never lived more than fifty miles from New York City. Since then he has moved to Tennessee, acquired a daughter and a classic MG, and gotten serious about poetry. His work has appeared in a number of journals and anthologies and his first collection, The Review Mirror, was published by Unsolicited Press in 2013.

The brilliant last line is the clincher. Cats, dogs, people in bed-just another night in our house.

You're going to have to take that cigar to bed to get enough room to turn over!

What a lovely poem! In my case, the cat couldn't take sleeping with anyone else and would only come in around 6 a.m. to annoy the sleep out of me and tell me that the food bowl needed refilling and the bed was now hers--get out.
