#piggies - Hello Poetry

In every direction, to the limits of sight Squirrels Scrambling to fill their cheeks With treasures to sustain The coming sleep In every corner, of every block Squirrels Frantic, pacing, scouring ground For imaginary ignitable jewels Dropped in a dream the night before Down the paths of affluence Opulent interests guarded with teeth Squirrels Frenzied hoarding for more Smart black top-coat, Covering a shiny shell, On stiff skids of leather And an armor of importance Spitting orders, to the others To forage and pillage, And steal the nuts To fatten and fan the Flames of false dignity And good intention Inside holes hidden deep.

Squirrels

In every direction, to the limits of sight Squirrels Scrambling to fill their cheeks With treasures to sustain The coming sleep In every corner, of every block Squirrels Frantic, pacing, scouring ground For imaginary ignitable jewels Dropped in a dream the night before Down the paths of affluence Opulent interests guarded with teeth Squirrels Frenzied hoarding for more Smart black top-coat, Covering a shiny shell, On stiff skids of leather And an armor of importance Spitting orders, to the others To forage and pillage, And steal the nuts To fatten and fan the Flames of false dignity And good intention Inside holes hidden deep.

Dear diary, I'm forever lopsided. It's as if one side of me has gone to market, And the other side went all the way home And the rest of me is all caught in the middle Torn, divided, uncertain And somehow this is all set to the smell of roast beaf.

Diary of a foot #3

Dear diary, I'm forever lopsided. It's as if one side of me has gone to market, And the other side went all the way home And the rest of me is all caught in the middle Torn, divided, uncertain And somehow this is all set to the smell of roast beaf.

They said the wolf Beware But in truth it was not he All should fear Misunderstood Stigmatised Tainted His name was mud Listen, Observe, Eavesdrop, On the words that growl forth, Three, Little, Pigs, They seemed so succulent, "Wait rephrase that" Those bacon bandits, "Wait misunderstood definition" Those pink porkers A triangle of terror they were To me, A birthday wish for their mother you see, Fur, but fur isn't cheap So a thought?? )POPPED( In to there salty minds A wolf could make not One Not Two But one for each. "Are you still listening" They planned, snorted Laughed with glee, my end planned By all three it seems The first Flame was his weapon Straw Tightly bound Ablaze in my face A circle Straw, Match Fire I had no escape it would seem, But as I was pushing behind A trap cleverly conceived But I was not defenceless, I Huffed & Puffed, And with an exhale, The flame Did extinguish Was blown out, Embers lit up the sky, As a pig now in my sights "Gulp" "GUlp" "GULP And smile upon my face As I huffed and puffed Inhaled All that surrounded, Inhaled, Exhaled, Everything out Piggy was now floating in air "One final inhale" And piggy was hanging by his pinkies Inside of my wolfs mouth "This little piggy was naughty" "This little piggy used his mouth" "One final piggy down the hatch," I licked my lips and that was that. I walked along now knowing their plan And by a whisker It just missed Matrix style dodges Ensued Wooden spears Shrieked past, Out of the corner of my eye "I saw him" "A glint in his eye" As Ten wooden spears Launched, Flight, Shards, Of stick rained down "Was this my end" ? ? I Huffed & Puffed, And these sticks paper cut My nose then In to the wind they flew Have you heard a piggy Squeal, Scream, Oink All in one exhale its not pretty As spears one and another Encircled my porky Friend His pink now white with fear encircled "No way out" "Pinkie" He smiled I inhaled And once again a piggy held on To my snout Eyes watering I said "This little piggy was naughty" "This little piggy used his mouth" "One final piggy down the hatch," I licked my lips and that was that. "I hope your listening" I growled It was him or me I would be Fur upon a back So used my senses Sight, Hearing, Snout, But he was no where to be found, I looked for this bad bacon High & low So I went home to ponder "Was it over" I sat in my chair, Then a brick through my Window did appear Come out and play I scratched my head?? "Why not just knock the door" As I went out side A castle of brick and stone At the bottom of my garden "Impressive I say" "Did I just say that out loud" You may have eaten One pig, Two pig, But you'll not get the desert, I Huffed & Puffed, And down the phone I shouted To the council of the land, "Permits" "Height" "Private land" And with that the castle came down There is more than one way To get a piggy off my land As they left, the piggy snuck off too, "Where are you going piggy" "Unfinished business me and you" It was them they made Me do it, Then a growl came forth And two voices spoke One little piggy "It was his plan from the start" Then a second piggy spoke out "He set you up, as well as us" The piggy startled Voices echoed out "Really" I spoke Yes my plan he snorted then laughed "What you going to do" I Huffed & Puffed, And blew my wind out Have you ever seen a Piglet role down a hill The noise was like Oink OUCH Oink OUCH And with that I Inhaled, And the bruised and battered piggy held On to my whiskers Eyes watering, Nose dripping out, "This little piggy was naughty" "This little piggy used his mouth" "One final piggy down the hatch," I licked my lips and that was that "I hope your still listening" My belly rumbled It was what I had eaten Not agreeing with me I went to the Jailhouse Slammer Lockup* For this is where They were regurgitated, And Spat out, these *Three Little Pigs* Would be doing Twenty five To Life, In a prison of jackals These little pigs are going to have A hard time sweating salt, Fear in there eyes instead of mine, "Are you Listening" What you thought I'd eaten them?? I'm a vegetarian for goodness sake I licked my lips but bacon does taste nice...
