Tribute Three

Call me what you may

Call me what you may, A dog, a scavenger 
Or even the dirty pig, but that is way too far
From transfiguring my appearance, call me
What you may even the worst pun but ado 
Comes on and change my affectionate deed

Call me anything that cross your minds and
Able to pronounce, even the most unbearable 
Creature you sort crawls on earth and see if
I die for it won’t be affecting my breathing in
And out... the routine will still go on and on 

It is most than injudicious to call me a wild beast
Whilst everyone witty calls me THE ADONIS ONE
I won’t blame you for calling me a nitwit for your 
Brains are too weak and needs a fully qualified 
Mental practitioner to examine its functions awry

Will they not call you a dead mental deranged
One for pointing  tosh on a figure of classy calibre 
How happy I am to meet a nefarious fool, who does 
Not praise what is worth just like the fool in the 
Beauty and the beast who takes his life for a shot

I do not even mind to living in the same galaxy 
With a dirty minded day dreamer who always see
Bad over good deeds and spoil my benedictions 
Of splendid manners. Just call me what you may
And check if I will hate you for your blind minds.
