Away And Tickle Poem by Robin Pratt

You've been a pain
all bloody day
so on your bike
before I get grumpy with you.

Yes of course
I love you
but there are moments
I may not especially like you

Or it could just be
I need a little space
to get my breath
and get the crinkles out of my brain

Of course I am sensitive to what you need
even though I am
just a man
but please remember my evolution

In our cave I need to
stare into the fire
while you communicate with all and sundry
to lubricate society

So let's take a little space
for a short time
and revisit refreshed
and invigorated
