Travilin' Show

I'm in love with a Gypsy..

Take me home and cook me dinner

a big pot of fried greens and stew

We’ll eat at the table in china bowls

with glasses of tea

Do you not hear me?

A kiss on the hand and then off to bed

turn out the lights and say good-bye

for I beat you in combat

and blew up the neighbor’s house

Let’s have a breakfast of toast and eggs

Get on the phone with your Indian friends

make me feel ashamed

kill me for money

Then take me home

and cook me dinner

Author's Note

All of my poetry comes from the heart.

Yeah, I agree with everyone here, this is certainly unique and twisted with words and rhyme to match it. You have skillfully written a heartfelt poem, emotions that contradict, and love that persists, and I just read this aloud because it was so catchy. Loved.

This really takes an early shift and I like it. It really gets you alert halfway through and almost wake up to the meaning. Great job

I love this. So intricate and twisted!

[SeventhSin]

:) Twisted! I like it. Great job!

[Kimberly "Melody" Carne..]

wicked and twisted. I loved it.

Ba-bing! This is great minus the "in china bowls" only because grammatically it sounds as if you are eating IN china bowls instead of eating the stew that is in the china bowls, which I assume is what you meant.
