The Bean Counter
he doesn't want to waste them
they're too dear
So she can instruct him
when to take them
hmmmm....
rather like making an appointment
for getting a lube and filter
she imagines
did she marry an accountant
or a mechanic?
he can tell the price
to the penny
of those little blue pills
but he hasn't a clue
the real cost
to her
self esteem
It's all right though
Reckon he'll balance the budget
when he figures out
the expiration date
has long since passed
and there's a Jiffy Lube
right round the corner

"Too little to late" comes to mind. Thought provoking piece Lola and great pen.

thanks Maggie, it's nice to meet you. I've been on hiatus for a few months now, and did not mean to ignore your comment. I appreciate your taking the time to pop in and leave a word or two!

Little blue pills
Can do amazing things
It can make a man
(no matter how intellectually challenged)
Become an engineer of sorts
Calculating
Everything
From moon phases
How long foreplay
Should last
In preferred time subtract actual time
Divided by two for over-confidence...lol
Then add
Our menstrual cycles
Taking into account
Our image of his worthiness
Multiplying
Times
Past success rates
Taking into consideration...
And so on
Well it's fun to keep them guessing,
from time to time
xo : )
