Infidelity
Inspired by Georgia
How do you expect me to feel about your infidelity?
I saw you last night with a worthless man.
He and you were standing behind the old house.
You hugged him as if you were hugging a teddy bear.
And you kissed him like lovers kiss in a movie.
Even though I’ve felt your embrace over the years,
You hugged him tighter than you’ve ever hugged me.
I’ve experienced the pleasure of your kiss,
But you’ve never kissed me the way you kissed him.
Why did you deceive me with him, Georgia?
In your eyes, he saw...

I'm Not A Matchmaker
A shy man wants me to find a girl for him,
But I’m afraid I can’t do that
He’ll have to find someone for himself
I don’t help men to meet women,
And neither do I help women to meet men
If I knew a girl who wanted a boyfriend,
I wouldn’t set her up with him
What will happen if they don’t love each other?
I write romantic poetry and songs
And I have a way with words
I know how to approach women,
But I’m not a matchmaker
I don’t operate a dating agency
Frankly, I don’t pair off people
I’m not going to introduce anyone to...
But I’m afraid I can’t do that
He’ll have to find someone for himself
I don’t help men to meet women,
And neither do I help women to meet men
If I knew a girl who wanted a boyfriend,
I wouldn’t set her up with him
What will happen if they don’t love each other?
I write romantic poetry and songs
And I have a way with words
I know how to approach women,
But I’m not a matchmaker
I don’t operate a dating agency
Frankly, I don’t pair off people
I’m not going to introduce anyone to...

The Crows
Based on a true story
It’s a breezy afternoon in New Kingston.
An unfledged crow falls from its nest.
It flaps its scantily feathered wings,
But it’s unable to fly.
The black birdling is very scared,
It peeps repeatedly,
And it quickly runs into the flower garden to hide.
Luckily, no cats are prowling nearby.
The mother crow becomes angry.
She jumps from one branch of the tree to another,
And she caws loudly.
Then she flies down to the grown.
She can’t put her baby back in the nest.
Mommy crow...

The Last Time He Waved To Her
Sally had been married for only two years when her husband left.
He was a manipulative man and he did not love her,
But she was still in love with him because he was her first love.
He desperately wanted to go abroad to work.
This meant that he would be away for six months.
She did not like the idea of being left alone for a long time,
But she reluctantly agreed to let him go to Canada.
He solemnly promised to come back to her in six months.
And she was foolish enough to believe that he would.
He waved to her from the doorway of the aircraft....

Good Fortune
This is my lucky day, or should I say it’s my luckiest day
I’ve killed two birds with one stone on this occasion
To be more precise, I’ve achieved three aims at once
I’m going to make another risky attempt with the same expectation
If I succeed one more time, I’ll be satisfied with what I have
Grasp all, lose all so I think I should quit while I’m ahead
I’ve killed two birds with one stone on this occasion
To be more precise, I’ve achieved three aims at once
I’m going to make another risky attempt with the same expectation
If I succeed one more time, I’ll be satisfied with what I have
Grasp all, lose all so I think I should quit while I’m ahead

I Love You
Darling, I want to say I-love-you, although it sounds like a cliché.
Are there any other words to say when you love someone?
Is there a better way to express the deep feelings of my heart?
Something keeps me thinking about you and I know that it’s love.
The way I feel about you can’t be described any other way.
Pardon me, Ash, if I say I love you before the end of our first date.
Lovers usually say, “I love you” to the ones they love dearly.
This overused phrase charms the heart of every romantic woman.
And I’m...

Superstar
You are a maestro and a great performer
Acting and singing made you a superstar
Patrons enjoy your magnificent performance
There is always a large audience at the concerts
Your ecstatic fans idolize and glorify you
Millions of music lovers play your songs
People throng to cinemas to see your movies
You seem to be having the time of your life
Though you are a rich and famous person,
Everything you possess including ability is vanity
You are conceited and you like to show off
Money is certainly a bad influence on you

Formalities (table Manners)
Where did people get the foolish idea about table manners?
The same principles of etiquettes do not apply to every country.
Moreover, nobody has the right to dictate groundless formalities.
You do not have to say, “Excuse me” to leave the dining table.
Who says you should not rest your elbow on the dining table?
As a matter of fact, there is no right way or wrong way to set a table.
You can set your dining table as you wish because it belongs to you.
Do not let opinionated people turn you into a fanatic.
It does not...

Formalities (greeting)
Is it absolutely necessary to greet someone in person and in writing?
What, if any, are the practical benefits of a traditional greeting?
And who should be the first one to say a greeting to someone?
Etiquettes spring from the fallacious opinions and philosophies of a society.
It is a misguided belief that people benefit from receiving a greeting.
Why do most people take offence when others do not greet them?
People are affected somehow by the things that they were taught.
Some teachings are not worthwhile because they are based on feelings.

A Sassy Countrywoman
I had been hoping for an affair with a lady who had a trim figure
And a sassy countrywoman got my number from the dating agency
She was the last person I had expected to call me,
For she was below the age range that I had requested
The lady read my profile and she knew that I was 25 years older than her,
But despite our age gap, she came on to me on the phone
Trina said to me, “I’m too young for you, but I think you’ll love me”
I asked her what she liked and what I should do to arouse her
She said, “I want you to make love to me while you tickle my...

Monday Morning
I woke up before dawn in a confused state of mind
And I stayed awake until daylight
It was a Monday morning and I had nothing to do
I couldn't cope with the trials of life anymore
Contentious people kept looking for trouble
I wanted to find happiness and serenity even for a day
So I left home in a hurry for a long walk
It was the first time I forgot to wear a mask
I bought one from a female vendor on the roadside
My shadow was right under my feet
I wasn't sure where I was going,
But I had to go somewhere to meditate
I was...
