Illustrated Word: Hair of the Dog

One generation away
You just call me a stray

Just one step back
I was sure to attack

Calculating and cold
Quiet but dared to be bold

Now taken into your homes
Spending much of the day alone

Peering out windows of glass
Where congregations amass

Of easy and bountiful prey
I am resigned to just sit here all day

Gone are the days of the kill
Behind this window sill

Illustrated Word: No More Mr. Nice Guy

Comment:
I'm not your pussy
Or your kitty-cat

I am something much stronger
Not your feline doormat

Don't talk of sweet things
I've had too much of what the street brings

I have long since learned
I am only worth what I earn

Survival isn't easy
On streets that are breezy

Keep your distance
Because at this instance

I am defensive
And decidely pensive

who has seen the wind?

Heavy pressure ensuing
Feeling the gravity

Bend your will to me
I can take it you see

Don't think you can stand
Without my heavy hand

You should indeed fear
I'm so encroachingly near

Opressive and vexing
Most assuredly hexing

Down on your knees
Leafless & lacklustre tree

Leave your keys at the door
You don't live here no more

I'm sick of the lies
Clouding my eyes

All wasted days
Because of the haze

You've muddied my mind
So sick of your kind

I'll have the locks changed
Things rearranged

You don't live here no more

I'm gonna eat you, given the chance
Once you stop moving I'll make my move
Been sleeping all day
I'm gonna stalk you real smooth

I work in unison
Me and my buddy who is steel gray
His teeth are like razors
Easily sunk into his prey

We've been watching you now
It's just a matter of time
Your days are effing numbered
Savory Sweet & Sublime

You know I decide
When the time is right
I am patient and deliberate
You won't put up much of a fight
