You can count on me to hold my tongue <br />I will never ever do you wrong. <br /> <br />No-one can ever call me a liar, <br />No-one can say I’ve dragged their name through the mire. <br /> <br />I can never be accused of slander or libel, <br />I could never ever swear on the bible <br /> <br />You could reveal your innermost secrets to me, <br />knowing that forever and a day, <br />your secrets are with me to stay. <br /> <br />But my partner she is very different you see, <br />she enjoys manipulating me. <br /> <br />She loves the acclaim the adulation, <br />the correct verbal pronunciation. <br /> <br />I have no life I’m shoved away when not needed. <br />I am like so many of her other things. <br /> <br />She’s the one who pulls the strings. <br /> <br />What the hell, you may shout <br />what on earth is this poem about <br /> <br />My partner is a ventriloquist <br />she has complete control over me. <br />For I am the dummy that sits on her knee.<br /><br />Gordon Whittaker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dominant-woman/
