5 Girlfriends

5 Girlfriends

Girlfriend number one was wealthy and clean
Air filled her head as she got lost along with rain
Could not find her way out of anything
Paper bags were not her thing 

The next one was a pretty blonde
Heterosexually inclined but changed her mind
Imploded on impact with all men
No one knew why… She came with no instructions

Number three was a kleptomaniac
Stole dirty dishes on the sly
That did not make them any cleaner 
She was as simple as her crime

The best thing about little Miss four
She was a nuclear physicist 
And liked to explore the universe
But she also liked divorce… I can say no more

Girlfriend five liked money, houses and cars
Had not a penny to her name
Told stories about the wars she won
Claimed to be heiress to a throne… someplace unknown

Hi Njeri, Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was the idea, to play and have fun with characters. These are fictitious characters and characterizations. I hope you have a wonderful day. Take care. Earl
