Too Polite

"I'm not your whipping boy
so either shut up or fuck off
and take your cats eye marbles with you"

well, actually she is far too polite to say that

as politely sips a rather indifferent wine
eats a nibble, carefully,
she can't forget
when her father accidentally
ate his hearing aid thinking it was
a savoury snack.

Death stares over sundown cocktails,
not that there is much sun around,
he scratches the cats fur the wrong way
ooh a bit of blood, serves him right
Fucking egocentric idiot

Looks like it will be peaceful here tonight
nothing like sending someone off
with the proverbial flea

as politely she sips and decides
the choice between femme fatale
or comfortable chic chick

Good idea, pops a cork
all will be well tonight

Femme fatale is a lot of work. Chic chick is more comfortable and goes well with most any wine. Fun poem.

Be honest. Aren't almost all men "egocentric idiots?"

i like this (of course), the mix of images. as i rarely come away from my cat unbloodied i especially appreciate that line, and the following line fits me well, too.

I love the idea of the "indifferent wine." And the wine in general.

Elle, I so love this. Your marbles line is uniquely savage and I can taste your contempt. Cool.
