Now, read the poem to find out how the poet got trapped.
I can’t get up!
There’s a cat on my lap!
What a terrible time
he picked for a nap!
I can’t get up!
No dinner for me!
I can’t play games
or watch TV.
I can’t get up!
terrible: (here) not very good
No school in the morning! dozed off: slept
My cat dozed off
without any warning.
I can’t get up!
And I don’t dare speak!
I may be here
the rest of the week.
