My Gigil
Stay away
This isn’t funny
I meant it now
You stay away
Ha, ha
Are you enjoying this
I think you
Are gigil
A Philippine lothario’s
(Lothatia’s)
Apprentice
Mentor
To
Trickster personae
Leave off
Let go
This won’t get me
To love you
I
Will feel less
And once
You let go
I will hit you back
For squeezing
Pinching
Tickling my sides and
Under my chin
What creature
Told you that
Was where
This was how
To goad me best
Your gigil won’t take me
In or you
Very far
So set me down
I am a scaredy
A ‘fraidy
Well
You know
Pusa
Sometimes still
Muning

Thank you, sister! A cat’s voice took over the poem. I looked up the words in several places so that I might use them correctly.
