Martin Braun Poet Rhyme

Skinning the Cat, Aka Look Who's Laughing Now

Cat’s eyes
	Telling lies
You stand in the shadows,
	to hear my cries.

You taunt me.
	You laugh at me.
You hide behind windows,
	and create my misery.

You ain’t no lady.
	your intent is shady,
and all you want is to be adored.

You steal my money.
	Then want some honey,
and bring me down when you get bored.

Now I get it, 
	when you say I’m like all the other boys.
But now you can forget it, 
	because here I stand,
for when you treat me like a toy
	I will treat you like a man.

Two can play this game, 
	and now it is time for you to lose,
cuz now I’m neither boy nor a man.

Any sport to me is all the same, 
	go ahead and choose.
cuz now I’m a lady, neither boy nor man,
	and now forever at your games you will lose.
