My Poem

I read them my poem    
And they wanted to know  
What it meant.    
Of course, it had special meaning    
And of course there was    
A story behind it,    
And of course it involved a woman.    
Yes, of course, there’s always a woman.    
They wanted to know who she was    
And the nature of our relationship    
And all the gory details.    
They wanted to know everything    
In infinite detail.    
So, I read them my poem.
