Happy Man Divorcée
Fore lorn my darling divoicee
I am trouble by your beauty
Cause I hate thee
Tho! I seldom say your name
The sight of you draws me pain
So, sign this decree
The house is mine
The cars are mine
The watch you keep time, (with is…)
Mine
The chothes you were
The comb for your hair
You can have them
You ain’t getting nothing from me
Oh! Yeah and I’m keeping the cat

BANDIT RAP RHYME
I am a cat
I sittin on a couch
I wear a mask
My names BANDIT
Ain't nothin wrong wit tat
I got it made
As I rest along side this plaid pillow
I'm a distinguished kitty with fan mail just chillin
Most can't handle it
Got my own Facebook account
Rub my belly and I'll "PuRR"
You'll find me on the couch or in the kitchen
I'll never go outside, I stay indoors
"Meow, meow" I know yall can't stand it
Cause I'm living the life of a BANDIT

You Have to Hand it to Couched Bandit
There's a cat just like me
A couched bandit on the spree
Her raccoon eyes hankering for more grub
... and another belly rub
Did I say with baby oil?
For she pre-purrs to be spoiled
Carte blanche in her pocket
Bells and whistles on her docket
For the remote control is hers
The newspaper she'll read first
The conversation she'll hoard
Wield, wield her mighty sword
Fur, fur the couch is all hers
That ... should I say, she pre-purrs
This epiphany glistens !!!
Honey, honey are you listening?

Prose

My husband wants a big pussy - he's crazy,
draped over chaise-lounge in conservatory,
I said that it would cost a fortune to feed,
to have such an adornment, there is no need.
It would demolish the neighbour's tabby cat,
cause indentations, droppings, wherever it sat;
he said: 'Don't worry, I'll take it for trainimg,'
glimpses of rosettes whenever it's raining.
There might even be pregnant paws, pushing
me aside with it's arse, going thro' open doors,
I'll have to warn friends when they come round:
'It's sleeping now, for godssake don't make a sound.'
So forestall such grandiose ideas whatever you do,
I said to him: 'Please take that cat back to the bloody zoo!'

Pot of food
Poem
Lionel Derbyshire
Our pot too whoo
You home through the storm
I am in .. you are out
Lighting strikes again
The maple tree is terrified
The dogs are petrified.
The window's fear
The thunder near
The cat runs
under the table.
Hearty beef stew
boiling stable.
Misty you sway
wet back to me.
My heart in hope
For lightning to miss you.
My hope is heard.
The fire keep's it burn
This warm house
Your winter food
Waits on the stove
Wanting you to get home.
This winter storm
A jealous woman
To strike and divide us
To be seperate.
I see a frame
You dripping at the door.
Our beef is warm
Like love
We beat the storm
And a hearty beef
Right in our home.

Romanticism
|
My dreams have been worse since I met him
He is an exposed, flayed nerve
He singes me
He is a bloody gashlike wound
I can fall into and claw out of
A tiger, covered in blood
I understand;
And what's more, I despise him
He thinks he is strong for merely surviving
But his roots are weak and tenuous
Like me
Strangling to survive!
Or worse, like his heart
He can be beautiful
But in time it crumbles buildings!
He takes little nourishment
And won't run with the pack
And seems to want to die
But is surprised and unameliorable
When I hunt him!
I will only add that you cannot save him
He does not want to be saved
Only kept, like a pet
Like an indignant, bitchy house cat
And if you keep him, you will lose us all
Except for maybe my best friend!

Plastic for garment hopeful Mc Guyver
Privileged upbringing Mum funded Uni
Drooping arms self described Survivor
Sends selfies working store security
Each week forgot which time we'd set to meet
Busy cuddling cat in his hoarders house
Box obstructed rooms, pet fur pile retreat
Expensive half hour at strip club aroused
Deep thought Duncan sombre long faced hellos
Told off at new job for being morose
Six year psychiatrist compiled his woes
Used a lot of glue trying to make clothes!
Fifty eight, next door mother truest friend
Asserts he's recognised among top ten
31st January
Duncan in denial

I'm writing now oh big bro
Oh! sorry I forgot, yes you said no
To say goodbye and to let you know
That you'll be on my mind wherever I
go
Well you know I'll never be ur pussy
cat nor teddy bear
Whatever you wanna call me now...I
dnt care
You think you're the one who's hurt,
well you're wrong dear
The truth is that I'm the one suffering
here
No no plz dnt you ever apologize
I'm the one who's sorry for telling
lies
To you?! Yeah right that's what you
have always thought
But I was lying to myself believe it or
not
No more stories,no more pain
Gonna spread my wings, fly in the
rain
Now each one is going his own way
Well that is all I have to say
If you change your mind I'll be
waiting for you
Ready do hear and forgive like I
always do
The fact is you'll never know what
you did to me
Though I'll never consider you as an
enemy
Oh how I wish to hear from you
these words
Saying, sister come close to me,
together we will run the world.

Dear Son
We haven't met yet, Well not per-say,
First think I want to say,
Know that with my heart I love you,
I love you with my whole heart and soul,
I know that i haven't seen you yet,
Don't fret you'll be one charmer of a guy,
I hope your first words are daddy,
That would make your mother cry,
She is here too,
she thinks you can hear her even though your no bigger than an eye,
I heard her sing you a song,
I had to try and convince her that
dust flew in my eye,
Truth it made me cry,
I'm trying to be poetic,
I'm as good as cat in the hat,
After that I'm no good,
For you my first, my only,
The poetry I speak is truth,
My dearest son I'd be crushed
if anything happens to you,
I can't wait to teach you catch,
Mom says school comes first,
I'm jumping the gun,
We haven't even met in person,
My only begotten son,
I know this might sound weird,
I know you already, I don't know how,
I don't know why, I just know it's true,
Dear Son I love you.

Would you tell me of this fling
how many games do you play
this tete-a-tete of cat and mouse display
taunting and teasing every heartstring?
It's a wash set out on the clothesline to dry
fastidious blown gusts chilling the skin
makes me wonder why this might begin
meandering of eyes on currents in the sky.
How well you play these games
so like a tantalizing kiss or touch
my loins and emotions fill with such lust,
have you or I, no modicum of shame?
It doesn't matter if you're black or white
not even if you're young and old
fortune and satisfaction favor the bold
there's a date waiting for you tonight.
E harmony, match and tinder call
peruse the photos and find your prime
someone not me, for a good time
romance is available for one and all.
So, keep playing your game
I'll be here waiting when you're ready
and in the end, I can be your only steady
not rich nor famous but your one true flame.

The Wrong Leap
The hardest lesson
Has been to get rid of the tension
That you’re no longer at my mention
Well thank God, I got that out of my heart
At least I saved myself from the hurt
No that you’d have cared if died
But I’d be there by your side
I’d be there when you take the dive
I’d been there when you almost died in that ride
But I guess, I was never the right
I was never the right person that your heart pleased
But I still did my end with no plea
I was the right person to dance by you
But I was still the same person who stood by you
When you were losing you
I was never the right person to answer’ I do'
But I was the same person when you asked if I loved you despite all your flaw’s I said I do
Well that sums up that your live wasn’t true
But that mean that mine was due
Cause every time I try to move
Every time I try to play cool
Every time I try to meet someone new
I come back to you like a fool
Guess you never really cared just who
Just as long as your bucket list wasn’t due
Foolish me that my bucket list revolved around you
But now that you’re gone I see there is nothing to lose
Except sending my apologies to my parents for losing a daughter they once knew
Funny yeah, but it’s true
For you I broke every rule
We left the cat at the zoo
Drove the night to Malibu
Spent our nights on my roof staring at the moon
And we played the game where we say, yes I do
Ooh yes you didn’t
You left me here like a pimp
And walked away all drip
And now at your wedding all I do is peep
Guess I took the wrong leap
