Written for:  Poetic Asides PAD November 2020 Challenge - Day 12

"For today’s prompt, write a number in the title poem. And yes, it's as simple as it sounds. Include a number in the title of your poem. The actual title could just be a number without any other explanation, or it could be something like "5 Little Pumpkins" or "39 Lines" (sestina, anyone?). You can even pull a "14U" type of title."


Two pieces of rich chocolate cake
in one sitting–that's what I ate
producing a slight stomach ache.
At four I wake, At four I wake.

At six o'clock in the morning
one dog goes out.  I am yawning.
By eight o'clock, it is storming.
Dogs bark warning, Dogs bark warning.
