Cossetted Heart

My heart is safe
Now it will not
Miss a beat
Because you are
Not not knot

My heart is in a safe
Now it cannot be stolen
I'd put it in the boot
But my Royce has just been rollen,
I'd put it on a shelf
Where noone short can reach
I'd set it on a fire
I'd towel it on a beach
If it would miss a beat
I'd try my best to knot one
Until I realise
I haven't really got one.

Ha-ha that's great! This stems from an exercise where you have to write a 20 syllable poem, but came out all amateur Plath! Like your take - especially the idea of putting it in the boot of your Rolls.

Skunk – how come you got no heart
You leave it in the quickie mart?

Maybe it belongs to your ex
What do you mean that was just sex?

Skunk - how come you got no heart?
You give it out to any old tart?

But don’t be peeved
Do nothing drastic
There’s nothing you can’t achieve
With a piece of sticky back plastic
