Poetry: Guilty conscience

by pa cockle

Created on: April 26, 2008

Oops...
"Who me?
No way not me!
I'm just an easy target,
you wait and see.
Those dogs were snapping over the fence
I was merely mowing the lawns,
c'mon dad... that's my defense.
A rock must of spat out and smashed the pane
he thinks I did it,
which is just insane!
It was just dumb luck it missed the dog
and smashed the glass,
owned by the wog!

With the finger of suspicion he points at me,
your angel son,
how could that be?
Tease the dogs that barked at me?
He was inside
how could he see?"

"It'sa dat li'l mongrel dat ateases ma dogs,
throws ada stones ana calls us awogs!"

"He's no mongrel,
that's my boy,
chew this fist,
hope you enjoy!"

That's the way,
give 'im heaps
take 'im out the front
n' show those Kung Fu leaps.

"Here you are dad
here's a beer,
a good job done
and finished here!"

Teach me that move
when I grow big,
to snap a branch
like a twig!"

Wild big eyes came back inside
trained on me then saying snide,
"If I ever find out you did do this...
Give your arse a goodbye kiss!"
