you know, I was lonely.

by the time I was  forty years old
and have never been out on a date,
well, when the opportunity comes along...

She made me get married,
either that, or be out on my can

so I signed up.

Then she wants me to get a job
jeez the things I have to do for xxx

She was like eating an artichoke.

No sooner do I turn around and I am changing diapers

Looking back I know  it was all worth it.

this relationship stuff is no piece of cake!!!

typical snarky fib, rabbit

looks like you need me to tell what really happened

you were tuturing this 18 year old foriegn student
cause she didn't know english too good
You are at her house
she looks at you
Takes your hand
Puts it on her breast

That got you hooked
You thirty something single guy
You end up doing most of her homework

She starts calling you to come over
She lets you have some action
Every time it is 0ver
every time
She tells you she has to
Marry somebody her parents pick for her

She never says it before,
Always after
That bothers you quite a bit

She is young
Who can blame her
She calls you to sort of check in with you for the nite
You know something is up
When you have dated somebody long enough
You read each others minds

at 3 am her beat up Toyota is
Parked outside this guy's house

If you need a rush of pure
Undiluted jealous rage
Exasperation, loss

At least a drug dealer's lookout
Riding around on a bicycle stops
You have some anonymous human being
To vent your grief

You mention to her you were very jealous
She's like she did nothing wrong
she DID call, you
He is a friend
She likes him
like she likes me
I have an equal

You keep on seeing her
now she has a small
photo of a guy
tucked in the corner of her mirror
where wood meets  glass

Watching you while
you are with her
preserving her virginity
by staying on the outside

You finally ask her to marry you
to have a family with you
She looks at you like you are a little nuts
Tells you that she has to marry the guy in the mirror
The guy she doesn't even know except
that she picked one that had at least
been in the same school
as her
"It will be nothing"
she will fly over
get married
come back,
We will be just like before
it is nothing

nothing

Like tectonic plates
Slowly I make moves towards our separation
Offhand I call a local friend
My suggestions of intimacy
Scare her off
She has to hang up

Moving down the list
I Call an old pen pal
She is out in Hawaii,
Saved up for College
Mid thirties
Finally got out from under her momma's wing

We are warm
She had asked me years ago if I wanted to marry
I hesitated
She went on and was engaged now
But she invited me over
For Christmas
That doesn't matter much
In Hawaii
Its always 73 degrees

I tell my girlfriend I am going on over
to see an old friend
She says this is a good plan

I go
We are making love in three days
She calls off her engagement
I belong to her now

I have to go back
To pack
to give away my car

I probably should have not gone back
Like my new girl hoped
Waiting for me to come back
was agony for her

By the time the night came
to leave...

The Beginning
She was the apple of my eye when we first met
Her radient smile, shaply body and dainty little feet;
We talked about mundane things and seemed to gel
Then when in bed, the sex was  swell.

We later  met at many sport and social events
These meetings usually cumulated in sex
Tender words were always spoken
Mutual gifts were more than a token

The ending
After six months politics reared its head
Perhaps it should not be discussed in bed.
Our opinions and values were poles apart
An explanation I will not try to start

We could not reconcile our difference;
Relunctantly we agreed to keep our distance.
I see her sometimes on a demonstration
Her banners could start an altercation

It has badly  diminished my esteem
To have fallen for one so extreme

GOLDEN GIRL

She spoke so very cleverly
to stress and make her point
and nosed me over carefully
to put it out of joint

then pulled the rug from under me
which sent me in a twirl
and claimed it simply was because
she was a golden girl

and this allowed her phantasies
to jive and rock n’ roll
which cultured her propensity
to dig for all the gold

then spotting all the danger signs
which wasn’t very hard
before she could seem too divine
I shredded my credit card.

Dorothy

Perfect in mind and body
Perfect in every way
We met back in college
Love struck I was swept away

An epitome of the perfect woman
With beauty and the brains
Indeed I did aspire
For lofty heights attain

I could see the future clearly
Just looking into her eyes
At last I've been rewarded
With such a treasured prize

Then did I conclude
I'd found myself a lover
Then did I avow
To be with her forever



Now it was still so fresh
Forever has only began
Yet I could clearly see
In her was a fiery dragon

The perfect girl has vanished
A demon has surfaced
Coping with her madness
Indeed has got me crazed

She raged like a turbulent sea
Her tempest never still
Her temper quick and fiery
And then against my will

I turned back on a woman
Who'd looked so heaven-sent
So angelic so divine
Our separate ways we went

Now out here I'm thinking
How best my story could be told
Our fathers were wise
All that glitters  isn't gold
