Like Chocolate

 Just like the chocolate

That tastes more poignant

When it's warm

Instead of when it's cold

Are our words more significant

When they're warm and compassionate


But, just like the chocolate

As it's better for you 

The darker and less sweetened that it is;

Our words are of benefit

When they're less processed into sweetness

And more natural and true.

Kitty Cat

Mama dropped me at this place

And dubbed it my 'New Home'

I can almost smell from a mile away

It's inhabited by some gnome


Mushrooms, peas and potatoes

Every single kind of bean

The smell is almost stupefying

Kill me with your cuisine!


My Royal Highness, Lady Sophie

How cheaply was I escorted

No red carpet, no hearty feast

No crown on my head


To your surprise, to my demise

This wasn't the worst of news

There isn't just one dwarf in here

They're, instead, in multitudes


They fight, they snatch from each other

They even hit and run

My Lord, they are utterly savage

Are they miniatures of a human?


"Kitty, Kitty, Kitty", they say

My little neck they tickle

"Devil, Devil, Devil", I purr

Your finger, I'd love to nibble!


I, the one, who slurped pure milk 

With turkey and poached tunas

Is sitting here, around the corner

Gulping down packaged Whiskas
