She Simply Said

She Simply Said I'm no model... I do have my moments, When the mid-day sun Compliments my masculine mask—marvelously And my mug is admired So when I asked her What does she sees in me? She simply said, "It's the way that you kiss me." I'm not a "snazzy dresser," Jeans, T-shirt and Nike's Are my trademark attire I do appreciate the comfort Of a hooded sweatshirt With an inside pocket To safeguard my American Sprits- Yes I smoke...casually. Every once in awhile, I'm forced to wear a tux- And my oh my do I look fabulous So when I asked her Is it the way that I dressed, She simply said, "It's the way that you kiss me." I'm no millionaire, Though I do welcome wealth, I am not fascinated with temptation I prefer to live comfortably I do not indulge In unnecessary needs I accept what The Lord allows me to have I take pleasure in struggle and its results that brings strength I have had my share of riches A vehicle that advertised vanity Eating expensive entrees While sipping red wine-"pinky-out." A hair dresser to tease my hair, Therapeutically conditioning and combing Then creating thin-lines of "corn-rows." So when I told her I don't know what she sees in me, She simply said, "It's the way that you kiss me." Even though I crave An intense love-making session, I'm no ***-movie star I have had my moments of longevity When my mind was altered with enhancers I don't like to disappoint, So I give fantastic fore-play And I am serious about my service Providing the premium package Although, There have been times when I have been known to exceed my limits— It's rare but it happens And strange sounds are sung So when I hinted to her I know that's what she sees in me, She simply said, “It’s the way that you kiss me." I am a clown, I find laughter In the worst situations I giggle at accidents Make fun of the miserable I am a jester Playing practical jokes On unsuspecting people I embarrass my Women in public—because I love them I do act my age sometimes Transforming into a decent citizen Who’s courteous and respectful But mostly, My personality is outspoken and careless So when I told her I don't know how she puts up with me, She simply said, “It’s the way that you kiss me."
