A Pussy cat or Tiger be.
It sometimes falls to one to be,
weather up on top or failing,
there is for sure,no in between,
your hammer hits the nail in.
What you see is what you get,
the cunning seller barters,
some folk can`t see wood for trees,
with one match they burn all Martyrs.
Too much time they umm and ahh,
solve not a single riddle,
just look for scapegoats in the crowd,
what was" no problem "becomes one.
Our lot we find , to suffer fools,
with tolerant smiles,not gladly,
until the Camels` back is broke,
with just one straw set badly.
If people timid to approach,
are scared to death to phone you,
then pretty soon you`d be breft,
their loss , your gain you`re hopeful.
Ten calls to one so plague our days,
buy this or that or other,
who is that calling?What`s for sale?
No ! I don`t want to bother.
There`s double glazing,going cheap?
A pension scam worth millions,
holidays for deprived young kids,
sure yes,I used to be one.
Now tell me Mister have you heard?
We`ve fiver notes just four- fifty,
Well I don`t want them,sling your hook,
I trust nobody ever once to help me.
Well what about a place in Spain?
or shares that rise so quickly,
with your stake you`d make a pile,
I`m a Monkeys Uncle incidently.
I used to be a real nice Guy,
polite, inspired , receptive,
not wish to say boo to a goose,
hoped everybody loved me.
Well soon you learn the facts of life,
accept the lessons daily,
that all that glistens isn`t gold,
the salesman say`s well maybe.
Now if they call this pussy cat,
stopped in his tracks while working,
will bite the head off the nicest Folk,
some say they don`t deserve it.
Well I shall try to balance this,
with sweet sweet words or phrases
slip the phone straight off the hook,
the next time someone tries me.
