I loved my mouse
He was my friend.
You'll never guess
Where his tale ends.
I plugged him in
To my P.C.
I thought it was
Politically correct , you see.
I'd teach him how
To surf the net,
My own original
Cyber pet.
But there are holes
Where no mouse fits;
On booting up,
I fried his tits.
The moral of
My rodent Ex?
You must be earthed
To have safe cyber sex.
Terminated tomorrows.
The sunrise beamed
From a closing wound,
Or so I thought
But the silence screamed.
"On my mothers bed
Dries the blood of eve,
My father kissed
Where the surgeon reamed.
The unwept pain
Cut deep within,
Dear momma's fears
Bore me out of here"
I don't know why it hurt me so,
Couldn't tell you if I even loved her now.
A life I dreamt, that barely showed,
Transformed to sickness I cannot word.
That crush of hopes to sourest wine,
Raised as a toast to the end of sowing season.
They'll never weep & they'll never sing,
& I cannot help but question why,
As I think of what there might have been
& hope you knew just how much it meant to me.
What was it for, that dance of spring,
That all too soon to winter froze?
It might not have looked much,
A blob of flesh in a kidney bowel.
Was this the sacrifice we made
To quell the hunger of the two backed beast?
Still a father grieved for what they stole
In ignorance at this innocence.
