The Lady is the Tramp

The Lady is the Tramp

 

She’s a first class player

She knows her strengths

And strengthens her weaknesses

She never looks back

Never turns her head to see what she passed

She’s always moving straight

Forward

Never stopping

 

They fall for her

Like flies to a candle

The light so bright

So tempting

They don’t think

They just do

 

She drags them around

On their tight leashes

And they pant and wag their tails

So eager to please

Happy to just see her

Little do they know

How many dogs she pets

 

They never misbehave

Always listening and obeying

Such good little boys

Always getting their treats

And when she leaves

They whimper and complain

Such clingy little boys

Never getting their way

 

She’s a first class player

She knows what she wants

And she just takes it

No rules

No regulations

Just her needs and desires

Being satisfied

I read Destiny A. Davis' review and went back to reread the title. Once you've read the poem, the title takes on a new meaning. It's brilliant. :)
Funnily enough, I've been in a situation like this... but just completely unknowingly. I got to the end of my last year in high school and discovered that 4 of the guys I'd been hanging out with all year had only been hanging out with me because they fancied me. Which is really unnerving. Everyone's got a motive.
Great work!

Ha ha. True story. Brilliant work and nice twist with the titles.

[Destinyxi]

Thank you, I'm not sure where the title came from xD

[GunMetal]

Yup, they're out there. Careful who you heel to, boys.
What I like about these kinds of poems is that it makes you think about who you might know that is like this, or who has been victimized by someone like this, or even if you were on the hook at some point. Good write.

[Destinyxi]

Haha thank you =D
