Lim'Rik Flats Poet Rhyme

After All, He's Just a Man

She was a natural disaster
probably the worst he’d faced.
Touched by her disclosure,
all of his brains displaced.

They started with fire and brimstone
but ended with a thud,
she was a natural disaster
he was, she said, “A dud.”

Well what did she know about life?
He’d been there, done that, before
but she was a natural disaster,
sent to even the score.

Now he’s a wiser man
resigned, he is, to fate.
She was a natural disaster,
destiny’s dial-up date.

Hard lessons a fella must learn
to make it in this world.
The hardest of all to survive
are administered by those girls!

After all, he’s just a man,
he will not be disgraced,
if he succumbs to disastrous charms 
with all of his brains displaced.

Joanna Daniel December 17, 2016 at 9:01 AM Why do men succumb to such 'natural disasters'? Thought provoking write, John:) You should read Proverbs again and again, but then, sad to say, Solomon himself fell:( Lim'Rik Flats December 18, 2016 at 9:16 AM none granted immunity;-)
