ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE???



Would I appear more attractive to you...

If I were bravely shot out of a cannon
and landed in a mangled  heap
just short of the straw pile?

Would I appear more attractive
if  I wore flannel shirts a size too big
(with shoulder pads beneath)
and had a beard
(oop, I have a beard)
and went out each morning
with a big ol' ax
to single-handedly chop down the rain forest?

Or, say, if I held my wine glass
with my pinky extended
and gushed about "finish"
and "bouquet?"

Would I appear more attractive if
I posted pictures of my Corvette
(better get one first)
from every angle with the caption underneath:
VROOM VROOM?

Or if I popped over
and fixed your computer with one
perfectly placed karate chop...
VOILA!

Would I appear more attractive
if I were twenty years younger?
Thirty?
A baby spitting up on your new sundress?

Or...

If you saw me falling out of bed
( banging my head)
first thing in the morning--
mumbling...scratching...farting...
traces of last night's garlic popcorn on my breath, 
chasing you around the room imploring:
KISS ME--I'M YOURS!

Reality raises its ugly head.

Let's all go back to bed.

  1. LOL. You are a hoot. I especially loved picturing the falling out of bed stanza. "Kiss me, I'm yours." Love it.

  2. This is so much fun! Love the stanza, "falling out of bed." I just finally got around to reading Darwin's Moon last week! Loved it.

    1. OMG...I didn't know you had Darwin's Moon. I've put out two other books since then...I think Last Tango In Timbuktu you might enjoy! :)

  6. This was fun. If you went back to bed, reality wasn't that ugly

  7. You know there are self help books on how to attract and hold a woman's interest.You should not fart in a woman's presence unless you have known her for at least 8 years. I read that somewhere.Good luck in your pursuit of the fairer sex:)

  8. Eight years seems reasonable. By that time, neither one cares :)
    Anyway, I no longer pursue.

  9. LOL, some things do take a lot of true love (if not cannons etc.).

  13. Nice poem. I was wondering how she will be able to keep up with all that attractiveness.

  15. I love it! Must admit....there's something about a guy who can chop wood in flannel. My sister, used to a king bed, recently fell out of the double in the guest room. So these things happen every day.Delightful poem!

  16. More often than we'd like to admit, eh? Muchas gracias, Yvonne!

  17. Brilliant read! I like my man to be natural, no need for airs and graces. Not sure about the farting though...
    Kind regards
    Anna :o]

  18. You just create no farting zones, and everyone is on the honor system--lol
    Thank you so much!
