Lioness and the Ram

 

Ram – let me teach you gentle joys of submission.

Lie down beside me and be my purrr-fect lamb.

I promise you it will not be the end of the world.

 

I know you are a winner – indisputably.

Winning is your chief occupation.

WINNING is even listed on your resume.

 

Whatever the competition may be – love, friendship,

Business or family life – I’ve seen you win it.

That’s what puts you right at the top.

 

A Lioness – your purrr-fect cat – sometimes I roar.

I don’t waste valuable time trying to win anything.

Don’t need to compete – I was born superior, BORN FREE.

 

That puts me at the top too – with much less effort.

Lie down beside me and be my purrr-fect lamb.

There’s room for the both of us at the top of the world.

This is really good! Trust is something we don't engage in much these days. We usually want proof of security.

Peace,
Dayvid

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
