Intruder

It happened the other night.

My Farmer had fallen to sleep

as had the kids:

it was quiet in the house.

I was working on something at the computer,

when I thought I heard a noise.

I stopped and looked up,

but hearing nothing after about ten seconds,

I continued.

I heard it again,

the movement in the other room...

followed by the dog growling...

 a low, quiet growl,
cut short by a whine;

 getting up

he headed quietly into another room.

I cautiously got up,

quietly peeking into the living room.

Then I realized that

there was somebody there:

 Really, Moon,

would you stop scaring the dog?
