The cat was thinking the other day how some hold a grudge forever at their bay. When really the other person does not even care unless of course they are aware. For a dVerse war goes on and they fight from dusk to dawn.
You stepped on my toe.
Do you want to go?
Wham! To the head.
That headache causes me dread.
Whack with a bat.
I squashed you flat.
Slam with a hammer.
Now you will forever stammer.
Cut with some glass.
A scar on your ass.
An axe to the arm.
I intended to cause harm.
A wood chipper for you.
Now you are gone from view.
You killed my brother!
Time to fight another.
Shot to the head.
Now long past dead.
You killed my friend.
Sense a growing trend?
The house catches fire.
Your car blows a tire.
Or just goes boom.
Either way spells doom.
You get chucked in front of a bus.
A pile of puss.
A tank runs you down.
Smushing you into something brown.
A big bomb drops on your head.
Now everyone is dead.
All from a step on the toe.
In which you could have said ouch and forget any thought of a blow.
But oh no,
The vengeance had to show.
And now in the ground you are,
Along with all friends and family near and far.
All because you could not walk away,
Or apologize if you see it the other way.
So the cat hopes it was fun.
To give such a run.
For in revenge there is no point.
Unless of course fun is what is looked for in your joint.
Then drop a waterballoon on their head.
Otherwise put such things to bed.
Before you go there forever,
Form such an endeavor,
Thinking you were clever.
May as well stand over a trap door with spikes and pulled the lever.
That just popped in as I saw two arguing at a nearby bin. Oh what you humans can do. I swear you have no clue. Have to get out your sass in such a way that isn't as fun as my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.
No.#1
ReplyDeleteHank
That is two
DeleteThat came due
Stepping on the toes
ReplyDeleteCan bring lots of woes
If one is uncompromising
It can start with lots of arguing
Young blood needs releasing
Rushing with arms swinging
Maturity takes a back-seat
On impulse slugging a big beat
On all matters work with caution
That is certainly a better option!
Hank
Yeah a better way
DeleteSure should see the light of day
But many would rather swing away
And try to get some kind of back pay
violence begets violence...and what starts with one shot can end up killing the lot, over what? wounded pride? lets the start of the slide and no one wants to be wrong and stop and apologize, which is really strong, and on and on...
ReplyDeleteYeah pride and ego
DeleteSure run the show
And so on they go
With the punches they throw
Why get even, I agree
ReplyDeleteLet it go or hug a tree
Two exceptions that I see
But who will agree with me
Revenge is sweet, the name is Heathcliff
Dark, foreboding, enjoy the riff riff
Scorpios will never waver
Tit-for-tat try a different flavor
Well not sure I'd hug a tree
DeleteCould be covered in dog pee haha
But yeah revenge does seem grand
As on takes that stand
Only to get themself in a hole
For taking such a stroll
i shall always apologize form now on if I step on a cats toe....seriously, i will beg for my life!
ReplyDeletehahaha the cat would like that
DeleteMight want to throw in a dead rat
Do onto others and they do to you and then run like heck!!
ReplyDeletehaha make sure to get a good head start too
DeleteMaybe wear a mask as well on you
They say revenge is a dish best served cold
ReplyDeleteI have heard that since I was 5 years old
Revenge, to me, is such a pointless pursuit
Often arising where anger takes root
We should all learn to forgive, is not for them, for us
Then we can all hug each other and ride home on the bus
hmmm I agree with all but the hug
DeleteDon't need the germs of some pug haha
But yeah forget it and go on with your life
Why let the fools who hold onto it cause you strife
The Hatfield's and McCoy's started it. ;)
ReplyDeleteWe ordered another one of your books, a hard copy this time for the shelf. Excited for it to come in, my little one likes the e-reader book we have, but he likes an actual books in hand better (gets that from his mama). :)
Yeah they are to blame
DeleteFor the revenge game
Thanks a ton
I too like books as an actual print one
And just got back something too
That involves you
Revenge cat? And what you win with this??
ReplyDeleteI try to forget always!!! Is better of course the human that hurt are not my favorite lol but I think the life revenge for us lol
anyway I never stepping in cat toes!!
haha the cat just lets it go
DeleteUnlike so many to and fro
Of course he may rant away
And get revenge in a fun way
But other than that
Can't be bothered by it at my mat
Oh, it's all just pride
ReplyDeleteand they would rather stay on the grudge holding side
instead of apologizing,
and do a fair surmizing.
and so they forever are mad
and it's really quite sad!
Yep that is all it is
DeleteWith the revenge biz
But they hold onto it
And grumble and spit
While the foe they claim
Moves on and lives life all the same
Admit it cat - you're just scared of me and that's what all this ranting is about. You're afraid that I am going to do something like blow you into tiny bits and so you throw your little fits!!
ReplyDeleteRight!
DeleteI'd wait for a migraine plight
Then just poke you in the eye
And laugh while you cry hahaha
Like.
DeleteSee one more for me
DeleteNo one likes a cyclops at my sea haha
I rather lose a farm
ReplyDeletethan get an axe to the arm
unless it's that smelly fake cologne
that's just worth a groan
Yeah that does smell
DeleteAnd isn't very swell
I agree - people get their panties in a bunch over the littlest things and it escalates into a monstrosity. Cat is a wise feline. More people should read this!
ReplyDeleteBeing wise I can be
DeleteOnce in a while at my sea
Yes, that is why cats rule!
ReplyDeleteThat they do
DeleteAt every zoo
I have to admit that often in my past I have been nothing but the proverbial grudge holder, revenge is sweet but as time's went on I've kind of held grudges less, great post Pat, getting your ass slashed with glass is not fun sounding at all, I'd rather get kicked in the ball haha.
ReplyDeletehaha hmmm toss up between to two
DeleteMore fond of my ball than gazoo hahaha
A big topic written without narcotics.
ReplyDeleteFunny but real.
The first paragraph sums up everything.
Yeah kept it in lane
DeleteWith those who pop a vein
Over meager crap
That goes into so bigger revenge lap
We can be silly, can't we with the things we do to each other? If we just didn't try to always have the one man up philosphy or live or let live or the best love each other, we wouldn't have to have rhymes like this I think!
ReplyDeletebetty
Yeah if only we could
DeleteBut greed and ego seem to win out in many a hood
And no rhymes like this?
Geez then a day I may miss haha
I like reading these comments because everyone has such healthy attitudes. I used to hold grudges for life and be the queen of revenge until that caused massive stomach problems. Thank goodness for therapy!!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah those stomach issues can sure be a pain
DeleteThose and neck crap I hate at my lane
yeah...those battles go on and on if not someone is smart enough to stop them...
ReplyDeleteYeah some need to just walk away
DeleteTo have a brighter day
orlin N cassie
ReplyDeleteguess sum times uz kittehz aren't any diffrunt then peepulz.... reely....
"If the cat had wings she'd choke all the birds in the air"
author unknown......
Sometimes we are all the same
DeleteBut cats aren't as lame haha
And choke they would
All your favorite burds in the hood
Revenge goes on forever, we can't agree ~
ReplyDeleteMaybe we can just do something together, like eating or drinking ~
In reality though, I remember grudges but I would extend a hand a friendship
if things change ~
Happy Tuesday Pat ~
Yeah I remeber everything
DeleteHere at my wing
But I just go on
And let them curl their toes up at their lawn
Great! Loved reading this. Do cats really remember? Lol!
ReplyDeleteNas
Cats remember indeed
DeleteJust have to watch them at ones feed
Pat Hatt and a cat
ReplyDeleteWe have a dog
That does a blog
Still, I guess
You where's it at
Have a look at the 'alien eye'
Go on Pat
Give it a try
The alien eye
DeleteWon't pull a probe from the sky?
If so
You can keep it at your show haha
An eye for an eye
ReplyDeleteand a toe for a toe,
otherwise things get out of hand -
maybe vengeance should be banned?
That would be nice
DeleteBan it twice
The cat is mad :) better to let go ....
ReplyDeleteThe cat let's it go
DeleteAfter a rant at his show
so is the bus's fuel tank full of puss??? oh my!!!
ReplyDeleteepideictic rhetoric
haha the bus is blown
DeleteHit the driver with a stone
Before you go there forever,
ReplyDeleteForm such an endeavor,
Thinking you were clever.
May as well stand over a trap door with spikes and pulled the lever.
Ouch this one would hurt. Glad to read this made me laugh so hard. I always like reading your work. http://gatelesspassage.com/2013/02/02/reflections/
hahaha yeah that would really hurt a ton
DeleteGlad it was a fun run
If everyone seeks revenge
ReplyDeletethe 'games' never end....
best to just walk away
and keep idiots at bay!
That's my philosophy of the day......
Yep best way to go
DeleteJust walk away to and fro
Pretty smart cat, and such a way with words too!
ReplyDeleteI try
DeleteUnder my sky
Bruce Lee in a major key!
ReplyDeletea one inch bunch goes wham! Bam!
Body slam to the mat . . .
i aint messin with this cool cat - meow!
KAPOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
haha yeah with one bite of the toe
DeleteBruce Lee wouldn't stand a chance at my show
Wow this is a violent place! Its starts with cranial damage and just gets worse. We're going to stay UTB under the mood passes.
ReplyDeletehaha but it comes to pass
DeleteSo no need to hide under the bed from my sass
This one reminds me of an episode of Tom & Jerry!
ReplyDeletehaha except this cat would win
DeleteUnlike the one at their bin
And that's how WWIII will begin...
ReplyDeletePretty much how they all start
DeleteWith some rich old fart
truly no point in revenge. People think it will cure their woes but when completed only a small piece of the void is filled, this is how super-villains origin stories begin. With all these examples, no one better cross the cat on this or any other eve. lol Great vengeance fun in words and then the war is won.
ReplyDeleteYeah avoid crossing the cat
DeleteOr one might become a stuffed door mat haha
But there is no point
So why get your nose out of joint
oh yes, i never get it
ReplyDeletewhen people have to play at tit
for every tat..
i don't get that!
as always, enjoyed the read. and these lines you wrote - so true, made me smile as i recalled people i know -
When really the other person does not even care unless of course they are aware.
Yeah all can relate
DeleteOne way or another to such a fate
As many like to hate
And drive themselves irrate
This has a feeling of world politics - futile disagreements with no-one to stand up and say STOP!
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that
DeleteBut it is true enough at my mat
sometimes the best revenge,
ReplyDeleteif I may be so bold
is pretending nothing went awry
and leave the drama cold.
Much enjoyed, as always. Wishing you a day of smiles. :)
That is the best
DeleteBeats all the rest
Plus you can annoy the pest
As you move far west
