Old Habitd Die Hard
A right pair of dim wits, leaving one other emotionally scared
That’s her and him, but true what they say old habits die hard
Always a storm, again at each others thoats, this girl and guy
Is it the norm? comparing notes, if they'd let sleeping dogs lie
He tries but though in oblivion, she fails to even notice he's their
But could she be forgiven? shes doing her nails or fixing her hair
Then shed ask why he did not ring her? and he is not yet home
Because of course the poor blokes working his finger to the bone
I'm actually suprised! that she did not buy a lead for his birthday
But he's one of those guys, an unuasl breed, not the sort to srtay
She says jump! a lap dog he comes runing, tail between his legs
But at times she can be cunning,I think she like's it when he begs
And when push comes to shove their back to the same old routine
Is it just called puppy love? as at times that is what it would so seem
Do they realise what side their breads butterd on? a very unusal mix
Or lack of pride? I mutterd can anyone! teach an old dog new tricks?

A FOLLW UP TO TWEEDLE DUM TWEEDLE DEE......written 2012...........................
NOTE TO READERS,,,,,,,,,,
sorry I’ve put this on again much easer than having to reedit while on soup
just tweaked last couple of verses as felt this reads better and as one i like allot
and personal to self it was bugging me for quite a while as seemed a little all over the place
originally this was eight verse long but felt to much so tried cramming a lot into six verses
which took a while trying to keep a pattern but also with the metaphors
to adda little humour on top this is about an ex girlfriend and myself but lousy based on
alot of other relationships Ive seen at times in past ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
this has BEEN A BIT UPDATED AND CHOPED DOWN TO FOUR VERSE RATHER THAN SIX
I FELT THEIRS ENOUGH IN HERE TO EXPLAIN WITHOUT DRAGING
