Wipe that sardonic smile br Your teeth are showing through br Jagged and glistening br They gnash exceedingly harsh br br I could make out the br Shape of malice in your mouth br Forming like stalactites br Threatening fangs sharp as razors br br Still you smile, as enigmatic as a Cheshire's br You hate and still show love br My mind is mushed and befuddled br What is it really? br br Purring and stretching br You sidle up and jump on my lap br Resting your padded paws on my arms br Retracted claws at ready br br What's a guy to do? br I am tempted wring your supple neck br Or smother your innocent and trustful face br I tightened my embrace, but then, fondlybr br Eddie Roabr br
