I May Be a Scaredy Cat, But

I am a real scaredy cat and there's absolutely nothing that I could do about that. I'm scared of 'roaches I'm scared of rats I'm scared of spiders and afraid of bats I fear all arachnids and I fear those gnats Oh I fear all the kinds I find of those creepy crawly brats! And but what can I do about that? Huh and who woudn't fear a midnight rat-a-tat? So I've resigned myself to being a lifelong scaredy cat. Yeah and I'm scared of heights Scared of noises at night Gah, I'm really quick to fright! I'm scared of grasshoppers and even of dogs Gosh there's hardly a thing that I ain't scared of. But I admit I am a timid tigress otherwise I'm a harmless human who don't hurt a fly Normally just a normal lady, a humble poetess I attack only when provoked to the limits so as I'm a cat after all I do show my tiger claws if the situation demands or else I don't mind chickening out of aggressive and foolhardy involvements. And maybe if everybody was a coward like me they wouldn't hurt each other with sheer brutality. I guess for ladies it's not so bad to be a bit more cowardly In any case that's far better than being a ruffian who's dastardly! And oh, lastly but not the least ah yes, I also greatly fear any lustful male leer I'd rather I'm invisible to their view So I really find huge refuge in the dear divine idea that exhorts me to to drape and wrap myself from top to toe in flowing garbs when I step outdoors and that veiling attire does make me brave as I feel vulnerable no more and that's when I feel the transformation from lil kitty into the big cats from scaredy cat to formidable tigress and that's when for once there's NOTHING I fear anymore! :) as I go out veiled in soft armour from top to toe. And I feel I can face the chauvinistic foe

Great poem! I like how you choose your garb and feel comfortable about who you are and how you dress. Everyone should take note. Great write!

This is a very unique and interesting poem. I sure enjoyed it, you are one awesome tigress. (and I agree, I too am afraid of those lustful guys. Can you imagine encountering one all alone late at night on a quiet street?) Y*IKES> Better to find a rat there.

My fondest regards andrea, yor reply left me chuckling grinning. U are right, i'd rather meet any critter than a man in a lonely dark place in town. Man's usualy more powerful the molester. But i'd feel far far more vulnerable if i were to go out unveiled.
