The cat likes to win. We take a winning spin. I get those toys and chase those intruders away. I even whack the mutt on display. But what of each beast? Who becomes least? Can't follow me? You will at my sea.
To come in first,
Sure beats worst.
Or would that be least?
You won't get the feast.
Or the toy.
Or maybe no joy.
But you may learn.
Get better upon your return.
Then you can glow.
That we know.
But there may be a snag.
It could be a drag.
Whether one or fifty.
It may not be nifty.
No matter the number.
May get you as you slumber.
Or maybe not.
Like a black balled plot.
You just never know.
Unless a rigged show.
For you could be it.
What's with that shit?
First and still it?
That's a wrong bit.
What was that?
Confused be the cat?
You're the last one.
Isn't last fun?
Oh, it's last but not least.
Better from this furry beast?
So if you're last and not least,
Who gets no feast?
Who is the least?
Who's full of yeast?
Blah, don't answer the latter.
That really doesn't matter.
Is a number drawn with magic?
Is least forever tragic?
Which of them is least?
Those that live west not east?
Ever think of that? Which of the participants is least where they are at? If last isn't least then someone else is and can't get the winning feast. Could first be least? Is that something they made up in the east? Where does least go? Does it just walk away with a no? Did I overthink it too much with this pass? I can do that with my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.
I can't say I have thought of that Pat. Good verse and thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
Wow, late but still on top.
DeleteThought out there
DeleteAt one's lair
1
ReplyDeleteMinute late
DeleteWas your fate
I don't want to glow...
ReplyDeleteNo glow friends?
DeleteFeel the glow to no ends
I really don't mind being last to wake up from a nap!
ReplyDeleteUnless last to food
DeleteThat may be rude
don't be the least favorite or last in line at Halloween - you'll get a rock
ReplyDeleteOr some coal
DeleteAs fake santa took a stroll
I’m last often enough
ReplyDeleteNo fun when you miss all the good stuff
That it can be
DeleteAt one's sea
I haven't the least clue.
ReplyDeleteNot a clue
DeleteLeast you know at your zoo
I never liked the idea of being last because I didn't want to be a "rotten egg".
ReplyDeleteArlee Bird
Tossing It Out
And have that stink
DeleteSure would stink, I think
I don't mind being last here
ReplyDeleteAs long as I play by the rules
don't want to be known as a cheater
and be considered a fool.
betty
Known by a cheater would stink
DeleteCould also end one up in the clink
Here's hoping the lottery ticket numbers are drawn with magic. Heh.
ReplyDeletehaha any such magic
DeleteSure will be tragic
Are you talking about golf?
ReplyDeleteIn a hole
DeleteA grassy stroll
Are you talking about golf? LOL!!! I never wanted to be last getting in the water when my father challenged us, because then I would have to buy Coke for everyone. Dad usually was last, but every so often he'd beat one of us, and we would have to treat everyone. Then that person had the least allowance! I hope you're not out in the cold again, Pat!!
ReplyDeletehaha he had to keep you on your toes
DeleteAlthough less allowance may cause woes
Out again once more
And on and on it goes at our shore
Isn't it wonderful that nowadays, even the last person is a winner? Gotta love those "participation trophies." I think every competitor in the Olympics should get a gold medal, too, don't you? What a great incentive to strive to be the best at something, when everything's designed to make all participants a winner, even the "last winner."
ReplyDeleteEven the last one gets a thrill
DeleteNo work, just walk in and have your fill
Dumb as dumb can be
Can even have a winning tree
orlin N casie...at least we made it over heer two day ta at least say...HI ~~
ReplyDelete☺☺☺☺☺
♥♥
Work being a pain
DeleteThere at your lane?
The least can be last, and just leisurely stroll, ha. Have a good week Pat.
ReplyDeleteStroll on through
DeleteWith least in view
I learned when I was young that I was not an athlete.
ReplyDeleteWhatever sport I tried, I always tripped over my feet.
So I found something that I could do.
I played the piano and clarinet to name a few.
How about you?
There you go
DeleteFound it and made it so
I could do sport
Except some I disliked so hit abort
The last shall be first and the first shall be last.
ReplyDeleteA spin around
DeleteWith both found
One may not be first
ReplyDeleteBut, at least one tries
So I guess it’s better than not trying
That it is
DeleteWith the first biz
I don't mind being last. I'm not overly competitive so it never bothered me to finish last.
ReplyDeleteLast at the end of the day
DeleteAs long as you had fun in play
I was never last...second last, yes, but never last. I am never least😊
ReplyDeleteNot least or last
DeleteA win in the past
Which Is Which With The Least Glitch?
ReplyDeleteEver give a thought of having a feast
Not being last
Has to be fast
It's the least of one's bother at least
Hank
Least of it it is
DeleteWith the least biz
