Cardinal aristocat strode into the priest’s hall
No one uttered a sound, they were stunned after all
He had never looked this fit, this fine, this brave or tall
His regular plain monk’s tunic had made him feel small.
So, you decided to join us after all, said the priest’s cat
She was a mean beast, a hisser, a scratcher, and fat
Cardinal aristocat ignored her as if she were a mouse or gnat
He had come to show off his ensemble and his new hat.

Aite and Dolos have whispered
instructions.Her words wish me to
deceive him.
Then Aite said to Dolos.
He will gain nothing and his ruin
shall make Zeus smile.
Dolos are you worthy of trust? Dolos
don't ruin my plans. That even a God
can't trust you. Might you conspire to
have Aite's plan ruined, I may curse you
before Zeus and speak I'll of you amongst
those how wish me as there's. I shall
Whisper instructions to your ruin, this
speakeasy Aite!
Dolos spoke and encouraged his deceit
to have the woman pregnant; but of his
ruin might he prosper and the woman to
be deceived by him. Than men shall
worship the man. And Zeus will hate him
that he loves me!

It beckons, taunts
"I dare ya!"
Come a little closer
Let me scare ya
Take a peek
you know ya wanna
We won't tell
Scouts honor
WHAP - whipped cream
Right in the kisser
Life's comment tossed
Serpent like "hisser"
She left her marks
But I still miss her
For she had added
Flesh to bone
Put peanut butter
On a scone
So must the muse my
In self defense
Challenge itself
Peek through the fence

I wrote that poem 'the neighbors arrive'
In boast of strength we barely have
We slayed the black stinger
Forgot about the creepy hisser
Today we're homeless; a snake has arrive.
