Shot of Whiskey

A Poem

By Mother CombsPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

I’m not everyone’s cup of tea

But that is fine with me

I have no one to please

As I write with ease

Creating fantasy lands

Where live Poison Penny and the Weedans

Weaving words of love and hate into one

Disgorging out words until I am entirely done

Jokingly weaving a tale of myself

Or (maybe) creating a post about yourself

These things can only be known

By the one the words own

I may not be everyone’s cup of tea

But that’s alright because I am me

I can be sweet or a bitch and

I don’t care because my husband

Loves me just the way I am

Plus, I have friends; now, scram

I don’t care if you like me

Can you not see?

I have merits you’ve ignored

So, I’m going to get my reward

Even though it’s mighty risky

Because I’m my husband’s shot of whiskey

About the Creator

Mother Combs

Come near, sit a spell, and listen to tales of old as I sit and rock by my fire. I'll serve you some cocoa and cookies as I tell you of the time long gone by when your Greats-greats once lived.
