a philosophy that humanity has never been able

to combat!

My canary keeps a pet cat;
that used to be sat on a mat,
but now it is caged
and slightly enraged;
to the bird, it’s just tit for tat!...

Measure for measure
  Tit for tat
What goes around, comes around
  Don't spit at that

Now you're flying high
  You think the world owes you
  ~ In the blink of an eye
  You'll be paying your dues...

Imagine if our lives were really like that
If you have an argument, never speak after that spat
Ego comes into play
Twisted words rule the day
Hard to reconcile when words fly out tit for tat...

Little Danny Hedgehog
Just a-walkin' in the garden
  Kissin' up to kittens
  Hmm... What the dickens

Danny says, Please pardon
That I was in your garden
  Kittens' tit for tat ~
  Get lost, you spiky rat...

TIT-FOR-TAT PERSIAN CAT
A young man and his chic Persian cat
Help each other out tit-for-tat
He feeds her fresh kippers
She brings him his slippers
Why can’t more couples be thoughtful like that?

I was good
Now all are sad
My life is good
Law of karma I understood!

the gullible are too many, the sane too few ~ what will voters do

barbs being thrown, tit for tat, red states, blue states ~ I've had enough of that

tired of all the political rants ~ they bite each other like red ants...

Tit for tat as 'favors' go
 Sometimes there is a cash flow
 pay the piper get it done
 When you're busted its no fun
 Caught up in a 'quid pro quo'

2 wrongs
don’t make a right

Tit for tat
Chit for chat
Like for like
Spite for spite 

Yes and no
Friend and Foe
Black and white
Sugar and shite

Forward not back
Defend not attack
Forgive not forget
Learn not regret...

Leaving his wife to her fate,
He went with another on a date.
With no protective shield,
He entered the field.
Forever, for him, his spouse shut the gate.

we could trade tit-for-tat, hurt for hurt
keep fueling the anger flame
or look in our own cracked mirrors
note the middle-age faces
and recognize that by blending our lives
we brought a lot of troubled history together
mercy, forgiveness, grace
ultimately love
is the only memory 
worth keeping...

An eye for an eye
A lie for a truth
A song for a sigh
A note for a groove

A line for a page
A pen for some ink
A light for a stage
A show for a drink

An app for an age
A web for a site
A chart for a gage
A gig for a bite

A kiss for a chance
A tongue for a taste
A deuce for a dance
A catch for a phrase

On a back porch the feline sat
watching a busy sewer rat
while overhead a flying bat
diplomat of their habitat
observing preying pussycat
had to get even tit-for-tat
squealing he warned that sewer rat
it took off like a scared bobcat!

Life has lots of give and take;
That’s just where it’s at.
If you ask for favors
Then expect in no time flat,
You’ll find the ball back in your court – 
A simple tit for tat.

Those we’re close to are exempt.
Then a welcome mat
Is always waiting there for you;
No need for standing pat.
But in every other case,
The norm is tit for tat....

Intentional straategies

Dry ink blink
Ressurection
An’ rise above the pain
So the tit for tat
Is more easy


Love
Starts so early
Combat
Pain
Regain


Status
Of perfection
Made in an image

Open
Choice

Ock, aye
‘cept for when the 
Coping strategies sigh
Into the willow tree
And the organised alternative
Cause friction...
