Down!
Love you! Mean it! (Her Response to, “Up!”)
Down, down, down boy, down,
lest I slap you to the sand.
Let me be, to nap in my gown.
Paw me man, I will snap your hand.
💤
REM trip gone, it’s out of my head.
Obey me now or fail my test.
Sip some Java, find a tale to read,
Take an hour or two, dear, I don’t jest.
💤
Get out, get out, get out of our bed.
I love you, mean it. But try me and see.
If you kiss me, I vow you are dead.
Veil the sun and let me be.
💤
Down, down, love boy, Stop!
Lest I stab you and call the cops.
💤💤💤 💤💤💤 💤💤💤
Note - This is a woman’s response to my poem “Up” written about a couple in early first light of morning from the man’s perspective. Credit goes to Dharrsheena for her comments on “Up.”😂
