Oh shed a tear

On Illicit love :)

🎶 Oh shed a tear for the tart

Hooking a married man’s heart

A clown with a blotted nose

Strumpet fallen for his art 🎵

She may love, that’s not a crime

Why a rag to soak his grime?

Mopping up the filth he spews

His sewers cleaned for no dimes

🎵 Oh shed a tear for the tart....

 

A mare to screw in his stable

She’s a dog so laughable

Drooling for spare crumbs he throws 

At her, from his full table

Oh shed a tear for the tart....🎵

 

Red hot meat she is, for kill

Carcass, once he had his fill

A crow gawking on his roof

Booed and shooed away at will

 

🎶 Oh shed a tear for the tart....

She’s just his stain, not his love

Dirty duvet, not his dove

A witch he’ll burn on a stake

Some day smoke her on a stove

 

🎵  Oh shed a tear for the tart

Hooking a married man’s heart

A clown with a blotted nose

Strumpet fallen for his art 🎶

You shouted for me and here I am Ms. Kat! I see a lot of work has gone into this cruel little gem on a burning social issue lol. What is it with nice, single young women and their attraction for married men? I once liked a girl who fancied one of these guys. She had a bad fall as I predicted. Great effort by you Ditzy and I hope this is an eye-opener for some. Loved it :)

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Haha look who's here! A poem on cheating should be cruel and I love this poem so there. The fall you mentioned is inevitable for most of these ladies as a cheater is never faithful to anyone. Thank you for the review. I hope this poem has a positive effect everywhere. Meow.

So captivated by the poetry I lost track of the poem lol. Your words are captivating. It has a style all your own. It was so easy to read and I could hear a feminine voice in my head when I did, maybe it was really yours. tyfs

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thank you dear Cyprian! That you could hear my voice is a great compliment to me and tells me I am developing my own distinct poetic voice. I will treasure your words always. Kitty love to you 💕

you nailed it...the human animal pithed and squirming on a wall... I want to be baptized into
Catharism...after reading this

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

I love the word squirming and thank you for it! I'm thrilled by that effect! About being baptized into Catharism, I just want to say that may not help as the restraint must come from within. I hope I didn't upset you with my rather cruel words in this poem and my apologies for any offense caused.
Love ~ Ditzy 💕

I have been upset with the human condition for some time now...your pith is welcomed in my cynical crevice...the murmurings of birds help me keep my angry slit tight lipped...

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Laughing this side....sending you happy and friendly kitty vibes! Thanks for being here.

[albee]

This one reads like a tragic song with a warning moral for all men and women to be careful of the shifty company they may keep. Any office space or confined community has its share of cocksmen, naive assistants and other related perverts (this place included!) and there are always incidents of some unfortunate getting stuck in a swamp and feasted upon by the resident leeches, and so it appears in your reality based poem here. Illicit love under any circumstances is never ideal and will almost always end up in strife for those concerned. I guess it all comes down to judging character and making the right choices, and unfortunately many fail in that regard. Its a very original and tragically witty poem, Ditzy, so well executed in its strict rhyme and structure. Maybe you can be the saviour Kat of lost souls after all!

[Dhara_Ditzy Kat]

Thank you very much dear Brilliance for such kind and caring words on my this poem. I quite like your suggestion in the end and I'd love to be the Patron Saint Kitty Of Adulterous Souls! Many happy thank yous and meows! 💕
