Baby It Ain'T Me

Baby It Ain’t Me Copyright July 8, 2009 Corinne Curcio After a hard day at the office And needing to unwind I lay on the couch to watch TV And ease my worried mind Fell asleep with my love beside me But imagine my surprise I awoke with purple toenails And mascara on my eyes! “Sweetheart – you look sexy” She said with girly-girl glee “You may think I look nice” I shrieked But Baby – it ain’t me! I'm a sporty kinda gal, you see I buy my clothes at Sears Nothing fancy, you understand But I was soon reduced to tears My Hun-Bun decided to help me Pulling blouses from the rack With frills and lacy bows she launched An all out fashion attack Kumquat, you’ll look beautful Try them on right now – you’ll see! You may think they’re pretty, I whined But Baby It Ain’t Me You’re right - you're fine the way you are she cooed Then kissed me on the mouth I felt electricity from the top of my head All the way down to the Deep South I sighed a contented sigh But then I started to squirm Imagine my horror when I really awoke With pink lipstick and a perm! “Darling, you look fantastic Surely you agree!” “Will this nightmare ever end?” I moaned Cause Baby It Ain’t Me! It may be you But Baby, it ain't me

Great poem, and one great lesson to learned by most women in any relationship, don't try to change who your sig-other really is, cause neither one of you will be happy! Great poem! ~Trudy~

This was delightfully funny, Corinne. I can't even imagine waking up to find what you found. I hope she takes your advice and realizes you are happy to be yourself, not the creation of someone else's fantasy. Had a great laugh reading this. Loved it! Best Wishes, Carolyn
