Montezuma’s Revenge

(Listen to the poem here)



“I used to have a frog,” the lady says,

“which changed its colour when it sang-

until one day it was eaten by the cat”.

The cat itself

stares at us from the corner,

sitting in Egyptian style,

blinking uncomfortably its

blue..

no, green…

red (?)

eyes.
