Unfortunately, the rope failed for its price
The investigation revealed- its nine to five
Order order, the court passed its sentence,
punished me with Brownie, her nose black and wet.
Pretentious and poseur, she thought I’d let her stay
Feeble as I was, its the toll I was made to pay
I was told to adjust; ‘she’s here to help’
For a blink I thought maybe they’re correct
But rumours swirled she only lured men for money
Her intention was clear, treatos in her tummy
Agitated by her ways;
I pattered my shoes and
I kept my car horn on blaring
The pendulum on her butt kept her from sleeping&snoring
But enraptured by the noise
She consoled me with her paws
Greeted me like its Christmas
I felt I’m Santa Claus
My heart, walled in 19 blocks
Day and night I used to bawl
But her eyes could melt Tungsten, Diamond
Enough to tear those fences wider
It was time; I donned my trousers,
Put her on that failed rope.
She pulled me to the farthest park
And filled my heart with lights of hope.
