Just A Thank You Note

 

Thanx for the crumbs they taste great, they are a little green though. Damn it I don't want crumbs, I don't want a piece of the pie, I want the whole damn thing.

Thanx for the bone, I gnawed on it all day, though I it was a bit green too. I'm sick of the bones, and I don't want scraps from your self indulgent plate. I want the whole damn steak.

Thanx for wasting my time. It took a while to do but I got it done and it was good but you wasted it anyway. Now I think I will Just burn it. I'm sure you wont mind, it's of no consequence to you.

They don't understand, That was my foot in the door that just got slammed in my face. Oh sure you'll use it on a secondary nature, tertiary at best. No prominence there, I guess you don't think the for front is good enough for the sounds you'll be making. Mine sounds are wailings.

Thanx for investing in me only to pull your offer back then wag it under my nose like yer teasing a dog. Its nice to know you believe in what I do. Its okay though, really, I can handle.another scar. They just add character.

But hey you gotta go with what's gonna work best for Your bottom line to pad your pockets, screw the little Guy, He don't need to catch a break even if he shows he can do it the hard way. It was only my foot in the door but its okay, you didn't break it when you slammed the door shut on my face.

Thanx for your crumbs and bones. They taste great.

Wow! What a strong statement, here! The metaphor at the beginning, leading the reader to believe a dog is the narrator, is a powerful one, in deed. I just love how this poem started off with a light air and then... Bam! A twist was shot through! Very interesting read! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for reading it. I am happy that you liked it. This, to me, would be prose poetry. It's not really poetic verse but there are some metaphoric phrases tossed in for the salad.
