Just a Joke

An idea that's been bouncing in my head for a few days...enjoy.

A Joke?
Is that all I am to you?
I give you my all,
And you milk it for what it’s worth.

A glimmer in the eye,
And a perilous smile,
I’m putty in your hands,
Because I can’t help it.

It’s odd how people,
People like you,
Can exist in such a way,
To make some of us dance,
Like an organ grinder’s monkey,
Making you a profit,
And in return,
Not one bit of gratitude.

String me along,
For my eyes are blind.
To be used by someone you love,
Isn’t so bad,
Until they throw you away.

Hey Zoo,

I like this. And I've been the monkey before too.

some people are really manipulative in relationships...it is sad to watch someone being made to dance.

I enjoyed the poem.

Join the club. I'm thinking of purchasing a gorilla suit, so as to publicly portray my status as monkey of the year . . .

Great poem, Zoo.

Actually, I haven't been played like that yet...just kinda inferred this from things that I observe. I can put myself in other people's shoes pretty well.
