Tag! You're it!

tag!
you're it!
just say it ain't shit.
I really wracked my brain
so say it ain't plain.
go on tell me again
what you told me before.
cuz if you don't, I won't tag
you nomore.

tell me it's the best you've ever read.
with every word your achin heart bled
and all night it danced in your head.
tell me it made you pitch to and fro in your bed.

this way everyone I tag
tells me what I want to hear.
it makes me feel like I'm great.
I'm Shakespeare!
so you froth at the mouth
and say it's the greatest around
and I'm the best writer you've ever found!

cuz I'm making a note
so I can promote
this lil thing I wrote
and on all the pages
spam
every woman, girl, boy and man.

and to you I'll tag lots
with allot of forget me nots.
because your praise will show on my page
and everyone will think I'm all the rage!

people will think you came
and saw and loved.
like it was blessings from above.
when all I did was
say--
tag! you're it!
and you fed me a load of shit.
so I wouldn't be mad at you
and cuz someday you'll tag me too.




*this is just some good-natured fun
poked at poets on Facebook of which I'm one :)
