Don Johnson Poet Verse

Pouncing

Pouncing
An azure sky was overhead,
The goats n fowls had gone to bed
Cos it was getting darkly,

Me memory of it isna clear
I didna even suck no beer,
Just getting a bit sarky.

I went to look, but she had gone,
The sulky, silky bat, had flown,
It hurt, not too much, so starkly

I wouldna, didna, want her home,
Me little bat returned alone,
Talkin some malarkey.

Pouncing on the pooch a bit,
Castration, killed the smell a bit,
He had no cause for barking.

Don Johnson 17-july-11  (must be a full moon eh)

Sara Kendrick July 18, 2011 at 3:08 PM This is a fun one..Of course, I never would have thought that a bat was a woman but I have heard a woman called that in movies..Thanks for the interesting comments on my work..The cat sound was several years before the snake..I think that it was a Bob Cat and not a Cougar..The rattlesnake was in my garden one day..On a retainning wall where I plant herbs...When he raised up to strike, he was eye level with me..Sara

Judy Ball July 17, 2011 at 7:19 PM Hmmmm This one kinda left me out in left field abit. Near as I can figger, The bat your talking about is actually a cat that tok off and it was getting a little stormy out. She finally came in and pounced on the dog just for fun. Did I get it right? Cute little ditty though. God Bless, JB Don Johnson July 17, 2011 at 9:17 PM Your fault Judy, you mentioned liking confusing verse:) The bat (crazy woman) returned and the guy fixed the dog ...out of frustration... cos he was smelly n barking, the dog...confused me too:)
