Don't

Thomas W Case



Don't call a women a cunt,
they don't like it.
And don't tell a batter to bunt,
they want to smack it.
And whatever you do,
don't try and give your
cat a bath in the tub with
that Mr. Bubble shit,
he'll scratch you.

When your boss gives you the
newly revised employee handbook,
don't say, that sucked, it went
on and on and on.
There was no plot, and I
couldn't figure out, who in the
hell the antagonist was.

And one more thing,
if you fall in love and you
think you found your
soul mate, and it doesn't work,
and you feel like your
heart is being ripped out
through your nose,
don't give up.
Because the right one is
out there, somewhere waiting,
and who knows, maybe they have
a cat that likes baths and
blow-dryers, and being dressed
up like an Oompa Loompa from
Willy Wonka and the
Chocolate Factory,

it could happen...
Don't give up.

    I really enjoyed this write Thomas. There are some brilliant lines in there
    I especially like the part about your heart being ripped out through your nose.

            As I always like to say, "Smile, it's free" 🙂 Well penned Thomas.
