Humans are stupid
Thinking they can hide the cream
From us smarty cats

It’s best to check yourself, before finding fault in others
A fascinating concept, to augment, this thing called life
Lest you be derelict in understanding your fellow brothers
Never taking responsibility, only leads to certain strife
Word of the Day – Derelict
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Fault
Daily Word Prompt – Fascinate

I see you every evening, when I close the light
Darkness in my doorway, lurking in the night
What is it you’ve come for, what is it you need?
You don’t answer, but my sleep, you do impede
I try to close my eyes a bit, yet, I can still see
Your shadow lurking in the night, making fun of me
But I can’t hear your laughter, I can’t hear your voice
I try to block you out of my mind, as if I have a choice
You can leave now, go on, and just let me go to sleep
So I can dream of shadows…
…that around my bedroom, creep

Every Sunday, we would meet
At Mama’s, twas the place to be
Good home cooking, what a treat
We were one big happy family
Until the day, Mama changed it up
Served us, in these little black pans
We couldn’t tell what it was for sup
We were all a bit of a baffled clan
We asked and pried, to no avail
She said dig in, and stop yapping
All we wanted was a little detail
Never ate what needed unwrapping
One by one, we all stuck in our forks
Each time we pulled mashies and corn
Seems Mama forgot to add the pork
So there we sat, sad and forlorn
But Mama ate away at her meal
Seems she simply didn’t understand
Her dish was lacking in plate appeal
From the table, we all did disband
Now, maybe you’re thinking shame on her
The woman didn’t feed her poor family well
But Mama knew exactly what she was doing
When the other dinners, into her belly, fell

To get the right reaction from something
You must act, without needling the cause
Step back, but don’t reverse your swing
Then hit it out of the park, without pause
Word of the Day – Act
FOWC with Fandango – Reverse
Ragtag Daily Prompt – Needle
