You were ours and kept us entertained
For hours and hours
In a box you sat
Happy and smiling
Eyes so yellow
They were bright
But I did but worry
You were slight
In Cupboards you sat
While we did chat
But you really enjoyed all of that
The Christmas tree
Filled you with glee
And you really did
Love a dreamy or three.
Even though you are gone and you were not here
For long
You really did know where you belong.

loyal to a fault and so much more
than just another canine
leading an exemplary life
eager to be by our side
doing her utmost best
always willing to serve
no whining or whimpering
ready for adventure
keen at every turn
eager to please and fiery
dauntless and ever vigilent
never shying away from love

Hope-losing Miss Lizzy,
Already looking dizzy,
Now knows it isn’t easy:
Bartending for The Like-Ant-Busy:
Customers quick to be queasy
Over served glasses visibly greasy.
Teeth-gnashing, baring Lizzy
Coldly painted “Damned Lazy”
Continues to wish at were easy
A fence between serviette and The Creasy
Tables distancing from The Sleazy…
Can’t a smoky bar turn breezy?
The upset enquiry of Upset Lizzy
Whose bar -woman’s breath has turned wheezy.

Some mystery seeds from China Town
Arrived by post wrapped in a gown
But they were lizard eggs
That hatched, crept round her legs…
She screamed in fear, jumped up and down.

Is it ok for Miss Lizzy to talk
about the taboo
truth What sexuality really means
to a woman like
me and love sex as much as men that its
no strings attached
didn’t catch your name but I don’t have shame
because I don’t care
how about in a parked car take your ring off
I don’t want to know
If you have a prior obligation
that im homewrecking
because Im not the one who made promises
to love and to hold
I am looking for a good time right now
Not forever more
I don’t care for your number I will not
be calling you back
I don’t care if you say ill go to hell
Ill go warm throbbing
Toes curled back arched veins popping like static
Explosions not a
Single beat in my heart is for any man
Because they deserve
Nothing for their mistreatment of women
All these years and
Until we stop taking their sir name home
Like a trophy for
Others to admire I will be ing each
One till the trophy
Comes off the wall and women learn to change
The stereotype
that they deserve to erase our names We
are not their property

DIARY ABOUT FISHY LIZZY
A pretty as she called her
Thinking she could calm his storm
He fell for her in all form
Not knowing she has a known norm
When finally got fishy lizzy
She became his colored lily
Frankly she is a queen of those slender
Her face an awesome tender
O! He thought she was a fortune weaver
But became gruesome fever
O! He wrote my lovely fancied lizzy
Now is what makes me feel dizzy
I just have to let her go though it hurt

Lizzy dear I wish you could hear..
Your sky is young and bright and oh so clear..
A vision before her time that writes of days..
Some sad some happy but always in her way..
A dreamer and a Poet with second sight..
A pure pleasure to be anywhere near her light..
Dedicaton to Lizzy Bark
Soups Brightest young Poet...

Light brown hair.
Beautiful green eyes.
Sensitive and creative emotions.
All real.
Not fake.
She's beautiful,
oh yes she is.
Oh beautiful Lizzy.
She has loved.
She has suffered.
She has been cheerful.
She has been depressed.
She is the wisest of them all.
She has gone through everything imaginable.
Oh beautiful Lizzy.
The way your light brown hair flows around your face.
And your beautiful green eyes stare out at me.
You're beautiful Lizzy.
Yes you are.
