A Challenge for grammarians

[Chaplain Winston T. Muldrew]

This is a writing challenge to all you grammarians. Apply all the nuances of the English language on the following and see if it has the same poetic sense. That will require not only a red pencil, editing, but reading and comprehension. I will add it to my book, also on my blog:

 

More Things I Write About Women

 

SCARY AND UNCANNY GIRL

 

She said she’s fast I said I’m slow

She not my lover, she said I’m only a friend

She’s really scary

I saw it in her eyes

I told her

We never talked about why she was scary

And we talked a lot

 

We don’t talk any more

But now she is scary

Ever more?

 

I guess

That happened

Because I am a Tom cat

And

She is a scaredy cat.

Are her two little kittens

The same way too?

 

Uncanny: She shows up to see me at the right time I can be seen. I say, “Now that’s uncanny and she smiles or not”

 

Lately she is being uncanny and a scaredy cat.

What’s up with that?

Is this how she treats a friend?

I’d rather be her lover again.

Oh well

as the song says,

“You just keep me hanging on…”

I don’t know if she loves me

And

I don’t know if she needs me

she just keeps me hanging on.

 

Should I tell her to get out of my life?

I don’t know how.

 

Here kitty, kitty, kitty.

Maybe I am like catnip to her

Or

Maybe because I am a Tom cat

That she is scarey.

 

I think because

She does not want to be my lover anymore

And

I don't want to be only a friend.

 

So

Why does she keep me hanging on?
