Her Wind Blew the Castle Down

Her wind blew the castle down

                                 she asked me to give her work a call
                                    I did, she called in sick that's all
                                    how bad was that to see me fall
                                    smitten with her mindless appall 

                                  to her, i was a seal to bounce a ball
                                 with, off my nose so she could squall
                              playing the mouse game with glee and gall 
                         baiting me with cheese to see me come to a crawl
                                                                      
                               for her to say call me then hymn and haw
                             that was bad day, it makes a person sprawl
                              and ask for answers why she be so small
                              then I did ask, it was like talking to a wall
                                                           
                              where i go in life the shadows of her pall
                               won't resign me into being her rag-doll
                             or being the subject of her phantom drawl
                              in poems where she hitches to sad rainfall

                              a rainfall of tears i see not, i see her thrall
                            to reel in her fish, me, so she could enthrall
                          the spells now be broken for no longer i'm befall
                       with her river of grief of being behind the eight ball
