Michael Tor Poet Rhyme

My Wife's Pets

My wife's pets come over me.
I know what your thinking, it's
hard to believe...

There is Lilly and Toro, and Saranac
the cat. I can honestly tell you
they are all her brats.

She caters to them like they had
royal blood. Once in a while I 
might get a hug.

I used to be first before they came,
Now our relationship is not quite
the same.

Hi sweetheart remember me. "Get
over it Michael, those are my babies."

One of these days I'll be recognized.
If it's anytime soon, It will be a surprise...

Michael Tor 8/22/2015
For my wife and her animals.

Paul Hawkins September 1, 2015 at 2:06 PM Michael, this poem really brings back memories of me and my ex partner Timothy. He treated our kitties much better than he ever treated me!! Haha Michael Tor September 1, 2015 at 10:07 PM Paul it's a catchy thing, I think it's more common then we think. I'm sorry to hear that because, I know how you feel, you and I have experienced this. lol.

Lara Wash August 30, 2015 at 12:50 PM A pet is part of the family; love is love. Nice poem Michael Tor August 30, 2015 at 4:57 PM Lara you are absolutely correct. Thanks for your valued input.

Mary Rotman August 29, 2015 at 6:14 PM Cute poem, Michael Michael Tor August 30, 2015 at 8:56 PM Thank you Dear.

Edlynn Nau August 22, 2015 at 8:46 PM Well, that was all tongue in cheek. Of course, she is such a sweet lady. No one can love animals that much and not be golden in their hearts. We know that you speak from experience and then you embellish… Like all of us!

Edlynn Nau August 22, 2015 at 3:08 PM EXCELLENT! We are all jealous with you & wanting your wife to curl up in your lap. SUGGESTION: Last 2 stanza's trying to keep to your 3 line Rhyme format just by rearranging the words you have! PLAY WITH IT! It's very real and I know people can relate! Michael Tor August 22, 2015 at 7:28 PM Thank you for your gracious comment. My wife is really a kind hearted loving woman. We both love our pets, and we both spoil them. lol
