Damn you! Damn you all to hell.
How many times must you abuse me?
While I faithfully, day after day, care for you.
Ever I give you what you need, keep you clean and dry.
Asking little in return, only that you abide with me in domestic peace.
Was it not I that found you out in the bitter cold, battered and bruised?
Tossed away with nowhere to go, but the worlds garbage pile.
Lovingly and tenderly I nursed you back to health,
giving you shelter from the caustic elements of the outside world.
Yet time and again you injure and cut me viciously!
I cry out, but tears go spitefully unattended,
as you sit there in your wooden contentment.
And still night after night, as I only seek small comfort to assuage my terrible thirst, you bring me to my knees times without end.
As I lie wounded and bloody from your tortuous edges,
steadfastly you remain, unmoved and uncaring, silent in your evil contempt for me.
No more. Hear you this, spawn of Satan!
No more I say. I send you back to the refuse pile to which you were intended.
Back to the destiny that I plucked you from, your fate is sealed.
Damn you.
Damn you to Hell!
Stupid coffee table!

Hah! Glad I kept going 'til the end! Who needs coffee tables anyway ... isn't that why God made beer-bellies? This was fun ... may I? "Damn you to hell stupid coffee table!"

After I recovered from rolling around laughing I read this again and, quite apart from the great ending, thought it was an excellent poem. Which is interesting because (for some reason I can't put my finger on) it feels like a "poem" not prose.

Please can someone tell me why this is so?

Meantime I really loved it CC .... (considering whether to report you to the RSPCT though .. lol)

I enjoyed this poem. I would however think about pruning it slightly to increase the impact of the final line. I found it dragged in the middle and found myself forcing to finish the rest of it (because I began to take it seriously and was going to complain about the use of hyperbole -- I'm sure glad I was wrong)

I did something like this to my friends just recently, but it was about gum. I would post it here for you but it is a little naughty. I loved your poem. LOL. I thought you were talking about a person. you are so creative.
