Morning Celebrity
A morning
sofa celebrity
never sits in peace
drinking coffee
checking email
posting blogs
admirers relentlessly
throw themselves
at her feet
beg for attention
whine for affection
paw at her arms
drape themselves
over her shoulders
she crinkles paper
they freeze
ears perk up
eyes scope hers
eyebrows raise
in a question mark
of anticipation
tails wag like
cautious stalkers
they wait
for her to make a move
finally
a biscuit for each
sends the paparazzi pets
off to remote locations
to eat their treats
in peace
