Catherine Reinke Poet Free verse

You Are My Goat

You are my Goat

What’s got my goat?
So often demanded of me.

Why it’s you, 
can’t you blind now see?
You must let me be.

“Why?”…
   Again, ask no more than three
insistent unrelenting of  me. 

For I shall answer most blatant
Ask no more, become complacent.

 Your lack of 
insight, 
compassion ,
and  integrity.


But most of all 
Your
 lies to 
Me .

Carolyn Devonshire February 28, 2009 at 9:29 AM Catherine, what a clever entry for the "Got Your Goat" contest! The title certainly caught my attention, and you delivered! Well done. And thanks for your thoughts on "Uncle Sam's Sticky Fingers." Sometimes when I watch the news, I just want to scream. And the only time I actually do scream is when I watch football. Best wishes, Carolyn
