Fee, Fie, Faux Frog. Steal My Kiss? You Dirty Dog!A Poem by KC
Oh, my empty-headed scarecrow
Hello? Echo, echo, echo.
My knock on your chest
Rings barren and hollow
As do the words spoken by you,
Usually too good to be true
I finally took a closer look, and who knew?
Each lie was small enough to hide
In abstract art and invisible ink
And there they remained, safe and sound inside
The riddles you wove to veil them
Oh, my silky-tongued poet
Way too cool to feel and show it
So easy to chain and tame, but at
The wink of another girl you go and blow it
Mesmerized. Her eyes on yours,
Oh, her flamethrower eyes disguise
The hand on your thigh that’s checking your worth
Affirming you’ve got the price of things she’ll do
Go ahead, strike a deal
For the right one she’ll make a man out of you
Or at least try her best
Oh, my starry-eyed novice,
Taken in by headlines:
"The playboy life is the life to lead!"
And the finest of fine print:
"Filled with worthless company and undiagnosed STD’s!
Be the first of your friends to become a medical study!"
Oh, you were always one for appearances and grand promises
Even so, discretion’s the first rule of polite society
So, shhh, your secret is safe. But between you and me…
It’s cute how you cross where your heart should be
Zip and lock your lips, but always manage to swallow the key
Oh, my wolf-crying sentinel
The way you fight is criminal
Muscles pumping to tunes of melodic screams
On battlefields sewn with unmarked mines
Flown with midnight signal kites and searchlight beams
You wanted to serve, but they sent you home
With a list of things they don’t condone-
*You’re not pure enough to preach,
*Not skilled enough to teach
*Blonde hair that’s easy to spot and strike
*Something in your eyes they just don’t like
*Flat feet, dry lips, cold hands, one tiny black mole
*An utter lack of conscience and soul
Soldier’s are made of stronger stuff
Sorry, son, you’re not good enough.
Fee, Fie, Faux Frog
Steal my kiss? You dirty dog!
You’re no Prince, I’m better off.
