Spiteful Tea

There she goes again,

Cheshire grin

Toodleoo Wave

Only too happy

To throw shade

Everywhere I step

She said so in the locker room with the other girls

In twelfth grade

She told everybody and anybody

Who would listen

How much she despised

Every single strand of weave on my head

Yet here she is

Hand to chest

Plastic excitement

Only too happy

To see me sunken

No longer married

No longer a threat

To her supreme reign

As neighborhood bitch

She said so at my family barbeques

She told everybody and anybody

Who would listen

That everything I had I didn’t deserve anyway

“Bless her heart”

She’d say-

 

Fluttering eyelashes

Venom on her breath

But oh I am only too happy

To have her over for tea

My bestie

So both faces of hers can see

Just how happy

A single woman can be!

As the saying goes

It’s important-

Elbow, elbow

To keep your enemies close

Wrist, wrist, wrist-

And I’ve got my eye

Wink, blink, wink-

On you-

Almighty Dagger Princess

From just up the street.
