Look What the Cat Dragged In

Miracle of Miracles, look what the cat dragged in
I suppose you been loafing in that den of sin
Those so called friends of yours are nothing but fools
Yet they prey upon your soul like a bunch of tortured ghouls
I aught to make you pay for all that wasted wine
I aught to throw you out you silly drunken swine
But try as I might I simply can't deny
I'll always love you, though I can't explain why

Love is the most powerful thing in the world. It does not always give us joy. Still, we all need love. A good, expressive piece with solid rhymes. Regards, Robert.

great expressions and rhyme Nick.. stunning emotion at the end luv.. my Beyond the Box was originally entered in the Jack in the Box contest but it was withdrawn for sponsor reasons and I submitted a new one.. this is why the context is difficult as I normally do not write in either the form or negative tones..hope u enjoy a happy holiday weekend ..be safe... nice to hear from u my friend..
