In heady elevated state
Breathing tempered heart rate and
blood pressure at an acceptable level
Smile broad upon my face
Dare I say even possibly momentary happy
Given this ?
What I do and cones next
Makes absolutely no sense at all
As I do the complete opposite
That what makes me unhappiest of all
So given this ?
Should I then be considered
Sane or in full control of my facilities at all
Or have a sadomasochistic destructive personality
Or am merely just plainly stupid and not
really worthy
Of have being being blessed with the gift
of a brain at all
Sadly probably the later
Because in reality I am a dumb schmuck
even at the best of times
And don't do myself any favors or
help myself at all
My friend Bert the Twerp was a real jerk
Small things at work would make him go berserk
Told his boss off
At the water trough
For not allowing Bert to wear a pretty skirt
A Twerp Who Did Usurp
Trump we did discover is really a twerp,
Who position of President he did usurp;
Face like stone;
Will leave alone;
While all of our earnings up would slurp.

Old Bert the Twerp was a real jerk
Things at work would make him go berserk
Told his boss off
At the water trough
For not allowing Bert to wear a pretty skirt

It's with the grin of Cheshire
I roll out tongues of glee
and tell the tale of Super Twerp
the Maine Coon wannabe
He is the kind of cat who smiles
at every bag of treats
and growls like baby thunder
when another cat he meets
His owner is Snappy Pappy
who is similar in kind
He chews his Double Bubble gum
and keeps me on his mind
They both respond to sweetness
when it's spoken in my tone
and they both are king of nap times
as they've both so aptly shown
Both will snore and sniffle
Twerp is big and fat
Pappy Snap's a cuddler
and adores his Maine Coon cat
Both of them are called "my men"
It's been ten years gone by
Super Twerp and Snappy Paps -
a kitten and his guy.
