Premium Member Dog Day Afternoon

Better let sleeping dogs lie
Just in case
They were to open one eye
Stare at my face
Not like what they see
And take a bite of me

Premium Member Missing Jerry

Jerry’s on his holidays
So Tom‘s left all alone
Maybe Spike would be his friend
But Tom can’t find a bone

That great big sleeping bulldog
Often dreams of roasted cat
If Tom Cat wants to be his friend…
Well, best of luck with that

So Tom tapped Spike’s left shoulder
Then he yelped an awful cry
Tom’s tail was chomped and that’s what’s meant
By ‘Let sleeping dogs lie.’

Nothing

hanging on to nothing
like clouds in the sky 
music in the air 
tears of goodbye
holding on to nothing
 like fear on a dare 
rocks at the bottom
 light on a glare
the truth is unspoken
Let sleeping dogs lie
where is your empathy 
when leaving one to die
cast doubt like stones
Remain sure of your choices
Don't loose your way
While finding your voice
When everything is gone
Nothing will remain
Tempting and trying
Yet still the same

Itchy Palms
Gold that shone
Is now gone

Yellow at heart
By fear stricken
Acts the chicken

Roadrunner
Have the ability
To show agility

Dream Catcher
I was told
To be bold

The Grim Reaper
Without a face
Dictates the pace

Let sleeping dogs lie
I slept instead
Beside the bed
