A Good Catch

I would say with some confidence When I am having a good day That I am a good catch for someone This is what we say in our family The women are good catches But unlike you my love, I am of-this-world And when you are of-this-world There is some deep down ugly thinking that can occur Along with rotten responses to simple things It just cannot be helped The very opposite of me – you - Are clearly not-of-this-world The sublime of heart Incapable of ugly thought Offering the most spontaneous loving and kind responses For all human situations and conditions On occasion, and certainly not enough While we sip espresso together Before leaving for work I will remind you that you saved my life by loving me And then, in a perfect not-of-this-world response You will tell me so sweetly That I saved yours.
