Rewrite The Lamb That Turned To Lion Once when prudence turned to foolish A change touched issue to my brow A wily blow was brought to bear On the vent of some cats meow. A simple comment named as lamb. Rose up to be a Lions' roar. And the subtle sword of cunning Cut chaos on my Cupid's door. Chivalry died and bellied up Sensitivity went to smell. Jealousy that shapeless monster Opened a crack the doors of hell. And the barb found the hearts tender By the shaft of a selfish floor. And the wound turned a poisons doubt Just strong enough to kill amour. A lamb that beast a lions roar And made a feast of poor seymour. |

"On the vent of some cat's meow" eh! well that kind of sets it all up doesn't it? No roast of lamb over the holidays Seymour? It'll be kind of hard to get the other one into the oven...talking about a barb finding a heart's tender whew..and I opened this up thinking it was going to be something religious like the lamb of God or something.. ya just can't trust a poet to do what you think they're gonna do....have a nice holiday and take care....ethome |

Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
