Laid out on the table, for dinner

A plate of artichokes, and anchovies

Mom always scurried, around the kitchen

Singing her heart out, to Jon Bon Jovi

We didn’t have the courage to tell her

How much we disliked this combination

In fact, we didn’t want to eat either of them

But dear Mom, was so filled with elation

So we stomached the food before us

Though we tried to feed it to George, our pup

But he knew better, when Mom made this dish

He’d rather have dog food, than throw up

 

Author’s note: I apologize to any Bon Jovi fans, but I couldn’t think of anything else that rhymed with anchovy lol

It started out quite innocently
A conversation they had over dinner

Nothing was said nicely, nor eloquently
And no one would come out the winner

Name calling commenced, round the table
It got uglier as time went on

Each one got their own special label
The lines in the sands, had been drawn

Back and forth, it went for hours
Until hunger won out, and they ate

The next day, the misses got flowers
The next day, was one day too late

Purest white to fool her prey

A woven web of tangles

No matter where you try to stray

She’ll catch you, from all angles

A spider’s charm has consequences

With tricks, all quite alluring

Wraps herself round all your senses

To smother, is her securing

She’ll gather you up in a single thread

Spun from her very own hand

Until you are indeed most dead

Now you’re the dinner she has planned

Follow me, my dear friend
Said the butterfly to the cat
I can take you places
I know where it’s at
You can walk beside me
I’ll just lead the way
Hurry now, let’s move along
Before the close of day

I can’t fly, you silly thing
Said the cat to the butterfly
How on Earth can I follow?
If I fall, I’ll surely die
Perhaps you can carry me
Upon your mighty wings
We can go off, into the clouds
With the setting sun, and things

The butterfly pondered a moment
As the cat cocked a curious grin
Decided it was better to go it alone
Then be part of this kitty’s din din
