Hi Bryn.

One thought for a title,

The Busy Day.

Early risers, errand and chore.

Sweet sun whispers in my ear,

“Do not set down your cup,

but sit, and ....

I'd suggest that your frame each example/animal as a reason to ignore the chores. Let the cats laziness be a lesson, the perfume of the flowers a soporific, the dawn chorus having a similar effect to a lullaby. That sort of thing.

As to the problem of the Huntsman. Why the capital letter? Especially if you didn't want the spider reading. Why not 'watchman' (it may not get you to pet cat, but it wouldn't lead to spider either), perhaps one with a bell?

And one for the ending. If you have 'cup' close to the beginning, maybe you end with pouring yourself another coffee?

Best, Knot
