Indulging the Child Within (a satirical look at being a...)

"If you lie down with dogs

You get up with fleas!"

My old Mum always said

When I would get teased

By people around me,

So-called friends at the school

Until they'd be influenced

By those they thought cool.

So now I am grown up

An adult it seems

Those days should be long past

Mere remnants of dreams

Well, I am disappointed

To find things just as bad

Friends turning their heads

Although mates are sad

If others attack

A friend, so you say

You cannot ignore it

It won't go away

And I must tell you

When you start to itch

If you lie down with dogs

You wake up a bitch!

Not Happy Jan!

I don't get it. I just don't get it! I know for some unknown mysterious reason I have hit the dumped list, I know YOU have issues with me, but for God's sake you must have the basic common sense to realise if you bitch about me to someone known to open their mouth, especially when alcohol is involved IT WILL GET BACK TO ME! We live in a small community, you must have known it would be repeated! I don't care when you said it, I have only just heard it and it hurts!

At least have the guts to come and talk to me face to face instead of slinking around whispering your poison. Do you know what friendship is, do you have any common decency or loyalty? I used to think so but now I truly doubt it.

Just keep out of my life if you hate me so much! Or maybe I will ditch my code of honour and tell a few of your so-called friends exactly what you said about them! Feel like I'm back in friggin' high school sometimes.

Rant over. Calm blue seas, calm blue seas...
