I once dated a weatherman At first he had a sunny outlook… He had our future all mapped out But he suffered periods of deep depression so our relationship got rained off I once dated an optician He said he could see our future was together But soon I stopped wearing rose tinted glasses ... He was always smashed and making a spectacle of himself I once dated a librarian He claimed he was an open book But I couldn’t cope with the periods of intense silence So the writing was on the wall and I threw the book at him I once dated a farmer He ploughed straight into our relationship But I discovered he was a muck spreader And when he started playing the field I ditched him I once dated a baker He was very upper crust and well bred But he couldn’t get his dough to rise So I toasted his future and said goodbye I once dated a hairdresser He was very trim and didn’t have a hair out of place But he was always making cutting comments So I cut the relationship short I once dated a doctor He had a wonderful bedside manner and he made my temperature rise But he became very cold and started injecting poison I lost my ‘patient’s’ and got sick of him so I gave him the cold shoulder I once dated a barman He wore very attractive glasses But he was always on the pull So I gave him sort measures and 'called time' on our relationship I once dated a retired policeman He was an arresting sight But when he took down his particulars His truncheon was all floppy – so I bailed out N/A in Just make me laugh Contest judged on 08/30/16 Submitted to take the dagger from my heart please contest Sponsored by Broken Wings 27th August 2016

:-):-) If I can bring a smile to someone's face and brighten up their day then it makes it all worthwhile - no matter what traumas I have faced since I started writing when my hubby had cancer surgery I can write humour at the drop of a hat:-) I do surprise people with my more serious poems but I have to go with the flow of my muse:-) hugs Jan xx

Thanks Alexis - I'm not sure what will make the sponsor smile i kept changing my mind and swapped 3 different old poems, then I remembered I'd got the draft of this one I wrote probably in May so I dusted it down and finished it:-) hugs jan xx

Lol... I liked the Baker.... what about the butcher and candle stick maker

Jan Allison
Date: 8/27/2016 8:17:00 AM

I cant remember if I wrote one about the butcher, I could also do the milkman in part 4 lol - still so much scope lol:-) hugs Jan xx

I think the baker is my favorite. Just a tad "cheeky" Lol Great fun, Jan. I realize this is a family friendly site but I can't help but wonder where you would go if it wasn't.

Jan Allison
Date: 8/28/2016 8:26:00 AM

I've thought about it Daniel - there would be only one place for me to turn to ... Arthur Vaso's website would be the place I would flee - I hope in time he expands so that we can post poems there:-) :-)hugs Jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 8/27/2016 8:12:00 AM

I'll stay as long as they put up with my poop Daniel lol - I've seen poems here that are so 'graphic' they make mine look like they were written by Mickey mouse ... so I don't think I have too much to worry about at the moment:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan, Jan, Jan.... the optician making a spectacle of himself! I tremble to think what you'd write if you'd dated a mortician.
