Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

You Said You Understood

Listen, Heathcliff, don't get me wrong,
but hanging with you isn't good.
You're a dragon, and I'm a mouse,
last night you said you understood.

That weird look in your eye says that
you want more than a cup of tea.
Now don't go getting teary-eyed,
yesterday, you almost drowned me!

I know you say you gave up meat,
but honestly, I can't trust you.
And whether hungry or horny,
your hanging around me won't do.

You must've seen me hold my nose,
so add it up, man, do the math.
Just because you hate the water
doesn't mean you can't take a bath.

Heathcliff, it's been a trip, my man,
but it is time for you to go.
And if you come back tomorrow,
don't be surprised if I don't show.

Cherl Dunn January 6, 2015 at 8:19 PM This is really written right and straight to the point of the matter and if this Heathcliff does not get it's meaning then He's in really bad shape if you ask me, my friend. Love how you told him so though, get lost or else. Thanks also for your comments on my she-tiger, I enjoyed reading your point of view on my work. cheri Emile Pinet January 7, 2015 at 9:08 AM Thanks Cherl, just a little tickling of the funny bone. Glad you liked it. Emile.
