You're a mangy and dirty dog with fleas
A cat without claws in a catfight
You're Tweedle Dee without Tweedle Dum
Afraid of the night without a nightlight
You're a clown without a circus
An act that nobody watches
You're chicken pox ten days old
Nothing but evaporating splotches
You're black without white
Ink with no paper to write on
You're white without black
A blank screen, no password or sign on
You're cookies without milk
Just gum under the table
A story nobody tells anymore
An old forgotten fable
You're a lone unmatched sock
With it's mate eaten by the dryer
You're scum on the bottom of the pond
Without any hope of floating higher
You're lox without bagels
You're broccoli without cheese
You're the stuff that comes out
When somebody does sneeze
Wax in my ear, a snarl in my hair
You're an irritating, useless annoyance
You're like fishing without bait
You're a bouy without bouyance
You're a bride with no groom
A pen without ink
You're a skunk that's stuck
With a perpetual stink
Shoes with no laces
Memories without faces
Rainbows devoid of color
Missing without any traces
That's what you get
For being the way you are
Cheating like that
You won't get very far
Lying to your friends
Isn't a good thing to do
For you won't have any left
Nobody will want to be near you
So do it again and
Just see what happens
You'll be as useful
as one hand clappin'
You'll be dust for the mites
dandruff down the drain
Don't get the point?
Let me tell you again
You're a mangy and dirty dog with fleas
A cat without claws in a catfight
You're Tweedle Dee without Tweedle Dum
Afraid of the night without a nightlight
You're a clown without a circus
An act that nobody watches
You're chicken pox ten days old
Nothing but evaporating splotches

Love it, Love it, Love it! Some of the descriptions you used in this poem are magnificent! There is one person in particular whom I could read this poem to over and over again. To me, it screams angry in a funny kind of way. You definately deserved to win that contest!
LOLOLOL... there was a contest here and it was to write a "put down" poem because the person holding the contest was mad at someone. The yellow stars on the poem means I won the contest. LOL. So if they can use it, so can you! By all means, be my guest. And Aunt BJ, I will NEVER get mad at you! I adore you WAY too much! :-)
1. Puh-LEASE...don't ever get mad at me!
2. Can I borrow this if I ever get mad?
3. I can still see the steam of your anger rising.
You touched every base, left nothing out. Great!
Love it! Left me feeling a little cocky myself!
I'm gonna have to remember some of these... I know a few folks that resemble that remark. lol

I am in awe of the master...I thought I could get very 'verbal' when I was upset, but you you outdid me by at least three paragraphs and I'm very impressed that you did it all in perfect rhyme. (I especially like the "gum under the table" and "dandruff down the drain"...Do you mind if borrow them?)
Well what can I say. Apart from gob smackingly well done.
I did get a distinct feeling that you were not quite enamoured with this person. Or Is this my imagination,,,,,lol.
My only complaint, and it's a big one.
I DID NOT WRITE IT. Wish I had.,,,lol.lol.
Exceedingly well done

No mark, no place or retribution, only voice crying the wilderness, seek and find time in words stilled. Voice quiet now, peace sought and found in thoughts left. Retort is always motivation pushed, good write.. Walt
I am on my knees bowing to the master. You are one clever woman. I love this poem. I know that you were talking about someone else besides me! Right? Anthony
Man, if I was the person who was being hit by these descriptions, I would have to climb up to get to the bottom (one can't feel any lower than that). Great imagery, very colourful. Great write.
Welcome !
