Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

When I Am Double Crossed

The new neighbor challenged my bullfrog, she challenged my pet flea.
She challenged my happy T-Rex, but she forgot to challenge me.
She smacked my baby’s monkey, she made me unnecessarily mad.
She poked me in the eye, and she made my family all kinds of sad.
She threw down her heavy gauntlet, holding none of her “awfuls” back.
I gifted her to my python, and he ate her as an after dinner snack.

Ann Gilmour January 23, 2019 at 1:56 PM Caren that is great, especially the last line, which I was not expecting Haha... when we were first married we had a neighbour from hell, I would have loved to have fed her to a Python! Such an amusing write , I love your sense of fun, you are a breath of fresh air Caren, with kindest thoughts Ann xx Caren Krutsinger January 23, 2019 at 1:59 PM Thank you Ann. There are all kinds of half-eaten neighbors around here, all we have is a dog now, and she is so spoiled she wants her meat cooked, and I am talking medium well. It is horrible having to get rid of so many bodies. One time a conservation officer drove by and my dogs were all chewing on deer carcasses in the yard, they had dragged up from the neighbors. That was lovely also.
