My best friend is old Hartley Ache,
He was named after his namesake;
He comes to my house every day,
With a wily-grin that loves to sin.
He knows darn well, he'll be fat-full
Before the night turns to dreaming.
But you see, I feel so sorry for him,
That powerful, awful, addictive pull,
Never seems to get quite satisfied:
By tears that fill the cup brimming,
Or a plate full of red-raw bleeding,
And his appetite seems to increase
With each dawning day's pleading.
Sometimes, after supper, I swear,
I can hear that old boy screaming,
But the sound is a muffled - blare,
Like hearing what's inside the stare.
I know he sincerely cares about me,
Cause he never ever misses dinner.
I've got to thinking maybe it's time
For him to go ahead and move in:
We've got to be such good friends.

Omnia vincit amor

Interesting write,  not 100 percent up to
speed on the exact meaning, think it has
to do with heartache,  but I am sure
at some point you'll give me a clue.
BTW,  welcome to PiP...enjoy yourself.

Magnus,

Thanks for the welcome!

Great place with many excellent writers.

I think Old Hartley might have some kind of connection to that heartache thing you mentioned.

The Lady,

I'd actually give serious consideration to cutting the old boy loose if you were interested in taking him off my hands?

lol......

Thanks for reading my poem and the warm welcome!
