pontificate.

oh my, don't cry,
it isn't over yet.
there're more to come
so don't you fret.
he wasn't the first
won't be the last
one of those
dime-a-dozen-boys just
passin' through.
don't cry for him
he won't remember you.
there are plenty more
where he came from
so stay away from there
or you will find
more dime-a-dozen-boys
to wear you down.
you're not much
of a prize, yourself,
you know
when you're howlin'
about what shoulda been.
the dime-a-dozen-boys
are fine for playin'.
not worth a damn
if you want 'em
to stay(in).

Anon, I'd like to think so ;-)
Joan... HA!....wonder what Hallmark would pay?
WM... 'staying power'. Oh, yeah ;-)
Are you the Jedi or the Padawan learner at this point? :p
Good or bad, haven't we all danced that dance? But then, I like the Romans (I think) who said something about... hoping to live long enough that someday this too may be smiled (laughed) at. I think, like you, I am smiling, mostly.
Youth, foolishness, and sex drive... who woulda thunk they could make mental omelets? Does it bring squirrels in heat to mind for anyone else? And then that a poet could garnish that omelet into something almost edible and eminently sensible?
*chuckles*
Love it. You said a mouthful!!
Looking forward to your online store :-)
Doom...heh. Took me a while to smile.
But, what the heck, it was fun at the time.
Kat... they're everywhere! ;-)
