POEM - What?!?! It’s Just Water

When I flung it

The last drop of water

From the bottom of my cup

I was just playing

Fooling around

Having a good time

I didn’t expect

My aim

To be

So good

As the stream of clear water

Shot like a bullet

Straight

Into your right eye

As you squinted and gasped

In shock

And anger

I should have

If I was smarter

Known to run away

Because

You, my dear

Fight dirty

Only for the win

But I can’t resist

And since your left shoulder

Has that sore muscle right now

You can’t land half your punches

I go for the kill

A guarantee I will suffer

As I tickle your neck

Laugh manically

And duck your foot

But I give in

When the biting starts

Realize I have gone too far

Forced you into a corner

The step just before

Desperation

It is how I survive

Because you know where I sleep

And I go to bed first

So it wouldn’t be wise

Cuz mama bear don’t play

Even if it’s papa bear

Pushing the buttons
