Revenge Is Best Served Cold

They say revenge is best served stone cold
I suppose my friends then you better take hold
For one by one I’ll be coming after you
I think you’d better hide, tell me don’t you?
What did I do to deserve such treachery?
How could you do this, dearest ones to me?
Don’t you know by now not to make me sore?
Come a little closer boys the dragon wants to roar

I’ve heard it said that revenge can be very sweet
I better tell you darlings it will be strong and fleet
Do you feel that shaking, are you holding tight?
Guess who’s coming fellas in the middle of the night?
Turn your eyes darling turn to face the wall
Wonder when I’m coming to organise your fall
You surely didn’t think I’d let you off Scot-free
Don’t you know dearest the price of treachery?

Have you heard the whisper vengeance is mine?
Did you really think you wouldn’t pay for crime?
Look into my eyes and see what’s in store?
I guess you all won't be treacherous anymore
It’s no use you begging I’m brewing up a spell
Don’t act surprised you know me very well
Did you think I'd let you get away with this?
Okay beloved ones which one won’t you miss?

Oh my sweetest poets you all know the game
You can try to get away the result will be the same
Treachery of the deepest and most wicked kind
Time to pay the piper whatever you can find
Do you offer surrender, what can you offer me?
Don’t try to get off with some trickery
They only thing I want and I make it plain
Is that you promise that you won’t read HER again

Marsha


Emma beloved one if you want to play with the big girls you have to face the consequences. And Kari be very nice to me or I’ll cut off her computer access, so she can’t write you little notes.   And Emma darling this is the nicer of the two poems I wrote so be nice to mummy darling or I’ll do more than cut off your access. I’ll lock the fridge.




Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

I knew it would happen
I knew a wench would rise
And now I am a shakin'
from a chilly surprise.

The Mushy is a comin'
to cook a poet's goose
Her mouth is a foamin'
somebody let her loose.

I think I will be goin'
and see ya later now
Cause she'll be showin'
For sure,  holy cow!!


Come on down Darling Girl...I be a waitin'

Magnus darling boy

You’ll be sorry darling boy
I’ve warned you once before
Better get under cover
The dragon begins to roar
Don’t think I’ll release you
I’ll have no mercy
I bet you’re shaking now
I can hear you squeak help me


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Kari beloved heart sister

Hanging from the yardarm
That too good for you
I’m going to get you dear one
Your crowing days are through
You’ll be very sorry
Cry and sob all night
Think I care beloved
No, you’re absolutely right

I’ll get you my little pretty and your little cohorts too. Clicking your heels together and saying there’s no place like home there’s no place like home is not going to help Mushy exits singing ‘Who's Sorry Now’
With particular emphasis to the lines
You had your way
Now you must pay
I’m glad that you’re sorry now



Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy


Breathe through the heat of our desire

Four and twenty blackbirds....errrrr Ravens..


all standing on the fence.....

Saying......Nevermore!!!!

Nevermore is Mushy gonna write
cause the daughter's on tonite
The comp is soundly tucked away
where oh where,  we cannot say

The keyboard is crunching in glee
cause the light touch is not Mushy
For Mushy is slamming the write
from a borrowed computer tonight...

Well, well, so mushy's filled up with her siblings' treachery
The battle's on to get computer time for poetry.
Yes, Mushy is the patriarch and so commands respect
But, if she pushes them too hard, that 'puter might get wrecked!

Krissy came from nowhere and now has poetic fame
And now it seems that Emma is about to do the same.
Mushy had the run of things before they made the scene
But now it seems her daughters have her captured in-between.

Will Mushy be the one who in the long run will prevail
Or will the girls join forces and knock our girl on her tail?
I'm sitting here with chills to see which one will be remaining
Regardless how this all works out - it WILL be entertaining!!

Noah darling boy

Don’t encourage them
Don’t you know you’ve been had?
By both Krissy and Emma
They are both extremely bad
Those words they say are theirs
Aren’t really theirs at all
All those wonderful words
From my pen fell one and all

If you insist on urging them
To write words my dear friend
I’m rally very sorry Noah
You’ll come to a sticky end
It’s not very difficult
Listen to my softest plea
Don’t tell them they are poets
Simply bow down to me

Do I make myself clear Noah my sweet friend? Mmmmm? Watch out watch out beware tonight, or Mushy will come and give you a fright


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Yay 'Deer.....

The sisters two cookin' a stew
of poetic brew for us and you
Seems the 'puter's been netnapped
and Mummy has been kidnapped

The ransom is set, really high
cause Mummy's typin on the sly
Emma and Krissy slipped it away
and now for Mushy...what's to say?

One is right and two is many
three is just sheer insanity
This is what they did decide
when the 'puter...two did hide

Mummy's on her pedestal high
sittin and poutin, gonna cry
Tellin us all she will get
as she sits, stews and frets!!

Margie girl sweetest sister of my heart

Margie girl don’t fail me
I come to trust in you
You know my darling daughters
Are the trickiest two
Each time they write
They steal a bit from me
I’ve raised a pair of hyenas
Who are devouring me

I’ll give you chilly darling heart, look to the wind My sweet sister dear, because you’ll never know is Mushy getting near…….

Magnus darling boy

Did you hear a knocking?
Of a raven calling you
Knocking always mocking
Come Magnus message true
Don’t think that I’m not coming
Coming through your door
All you’ll hear is this
Quoth Mushy Evermore

Is it windy and cold there yet? On the wings of night I fly feel me coming to you by and by……… two down …..

’Deer dearest heart
Strange noises heard
In the middle of the night
Don’t worry dearest ‘Deer
You needn’t take a fright
I’m not going to get you
Well not yet any way
I just want to scare you
Before I make you pay

Creeping slowly through the air who’s that coming up the stair, watch out my friend treachery is base see how it causes your poor hear to race.

Three……… or is it four?

Kit darling girl

They have their own computers
And anyway I have two
But without Internet connection
There’s no way they’re getting through
I’ve offered to assist them
To keep them from my keys
But they being daughters
Their mum they adore to tease

Don’t encourage them Kit, it was bad enough one of them but two are murder. When I finally did get my computer back Krissy came in and wanted to do something.

Five……..

Magnus you treacherous wretch
Did I say your words were sweet?
Did I say your soul I’d meet?
Did I whisper come to me?
Did I call you urgently?
Now I’ll turn my face away
No more to call your soul to play
You’ll feel the withdrawal of my touch
Tell me darling do you miss me much?

Cooling down already are you darling boy? You know you prefer flames to ice, you know you want bad not nice, don’t encourage them darling boy and you’ll see
How agreeable and yielding I can be.
