As my grandfather/
once said: If it doesn’t work,/
make sure it’s plugged in!
I stayed down there and/
I rechecked the job. I did/
not have to go back.
It never matters/
much to me where a lake is,/
as long as I’m there.
Seriously?!? I/
again prove myself much too/
intense. I’m so dense.
Enthusiasm /
is too often mistaken/
for desperation.
OR
Enthusiasm /
can too oft be mistaken/
for desperation.
It’s easy to squash/
men’s enamoredization./
Just criticize them.
She said she is stubborn.
That brings a thrill
when you’re looking for someone
Who is just so strong willed.
With brightly flashing eyes,
With a firmly set jaw;
It came as no surprise:
I liked what I saw.
Someone who likes independence.
Someone who’s waltzed through strife.
Someone with whom I could take a chance
At this dance we call life.
With someone not afraid to go solo, I think it would be fun!
And so I’ll shout “Let’s go! Come on! Get it on!”
You’re right. I’m no fun/
anymore. Thanks for helping/
me see it. See ya!
To be a poet!/
To try so hard with phrases/
and words. To then fail.
