When The Boss Is Away

The Cat Will Play

By Maria AyalaPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

When the boss is away, the cat will play.

You think you are pretty.

You think you are so cute.

In reality, you are cruel.

You are tiny, petite, a coward trapped in a social workers wardrobe.

When the boss is away, the cat will play.

Stop trying to provoke me.

You won't win.

I know your intentions, so forget your silly grin.

Your tricks won't work.

I overheard your are a skank.

I wonder why the men say those things about you.

You are a mother.

Some mother you must be.

I feel sorry for your daughter.

Why do you hate women so much?
