Suzy was busy dreaming of stews
The morning was calling but again she hit snooze
Sleepyhead Suzy loved lambshank and broth
But every eight minutes her alarm it went off
Slowly and lazily she sat up in bed
Into her computer her password typed in
“Hoopsiefloopsie” was her secret code
The alarm stopped its howling and finally she rose
Into the kitchen ‘twas coffee she craved
She needed espresso to waken the day
The machine it roared its mechanical growl
Her black and white kitty meowed on the prowl
The milk it steamed, the coffee it dripped
Puss was feed as her latte she sipped
Two spoonfuls of sugar to Suzy’s delight
Her eyes now wide open, her spirit bright
Still something had slipped Suzy’s mind that day
The window was open while outside it rained
What fell from the sky was no typical pour
It soaked her apartment with something much more
A magical storm blew in from the sea
It covered the floor while she brushed her teeth
To the left and the right, above and below
Her world was changing, though she did not know
Over her toes the water it washed
When Suzy looked down she was totally shocked
The water it rose with incredible speed
Before she could blink it was up to her knees
And so startled Suzy to the window ran
By the time she arrived it was up to her chin
It was then Suzy noticed the strangest thing
The cause of the flood was her house was shrinking
Now Suzy swam in an ocean of rain
Her coffee and kitty small just the same
Her table and chairs, her pots and pans too
All tiny like Suzy, bobbing ‘bout the room
But what stayed the same size was peculiar for sure
It was all the fresh food from her vegetable drawer
Giant onions, potatoes, spices and herbs
Now spun around Suzy as the water is stirred
Then the thought struck as pepper passed by
It all added up to a stew she could try
Indeed she was hungry and this her prime dish
So miniature Suzy let the slurping commence
Though the portion was massive to her tiny tummy
Anything’s possible and the taste was quite yummy
Ate and she ate ‘til she felt like exploding
All of the while she was growing and growing
And so stuffed Suzy returned to right size
The rain was now over, the sun filled her eyes
Though she was drenched, her whole house a mess
Suzy felt cozy cuddling Puss with a kiss
As she started to doze distant sounds she could hear
Louder and louder the song it drew near
Then it hit, a howl so familiar
Eight minutes were up, her slumber now over
