A Poor Me For the Ages

A POOR ME FOR THE AGES I was older she was so young I was stupid But I was helpless she flirted threw me a smile Oh, poor me I melted that look That long, black hair that perfume Those eyes that perfect bod I was so lonely No one understood me oh, poor me Didn’t like my job job paid so well though Wife left me I started drinking Smoked like a chimney watched **** Had such fantasies why did she say yes? Expensive dinner wasn’t that good And that necklace money getting short She called me sugar daddy oh, poor me She was such a flirt she loved all men Age didn’t matter she has a new car I paid for it then I really was broke Had to move sold everything she said, get lost Lost my job flop house was bad Cardboard box is worse oh, poor, poor me Old women shun me dogs and cats shun me Do I deserve this? Oh well That roach wasn’t bad no bones Dave Austin

LOL I see what you mean, Daver. Yes, I can easily see the humor throughout this poem. I was laughing out loud long before the cardboard box and the roach! Great parody, my friend. It goes to my favorites. As they say, it's in "the eye of the beholder." :D Love, carolyn

boy, I sure hope there was not much truth in this one because that is a sad story. But it was a story that really kept my interest! A great pity party!

Thanks for reading , Leonora. I have had a grasshopper or two in the early days, but no roaches. Love, daver
