Bugger - Her Response

Bugger 
17th July 2015

Last night my missus gave me some oysters for tea
Was I in for a night of rip snorting whoopee?
I showered and shaved trying to smell like a stud
Her half dozen oysters must have all of been duds.
Things were desperate so I engaged in foreplay
What old men do when they want a roll in the hay
I groveled I pleaded, even whined like a dog
But for all of my efforts all I got was a snog.
So should she ever give me a little blue pill
I now know it sure won’t be for an evening of thrill.

Her response

So you’re disappointed
That all you got was just a snog
How about make an effort 
Stop smelling like grog
I don’t care for begging,
And sexual wee stirrings
Have a shave and a shower, 
That'll start me concurring.
Now take your hand off my breast, 
Just help me cook the kids tea
Grab the vacuum, do the house, 
That’ll be enough foreplay  for me
Hang out the washing, 
Then feed the pets. 
Do homework with the kids
Please now go make the beds, 
Scrub all the pots, 
Make sure you do the lids
Thank you my dear, 
Your help was just great, 
It's nice just not to nag
What! What do you mean? 
You’re too tired for a shag?

Thanks for the laugh Mark. There appears to be a priority discrepancy though and it doesn't appear to be to your advantage - Lindsay

My wife can see a speck of dust from 100m I'd be lucky to see it from 10cm. There's a difference in perspectives and importances. I had a re-read of your poem, still think it's great!

I need to read the contest, don't know what it says, but I know this reads true and with humor. Very good, Mark - I grinned the whole read ... CayCay

It was the only response I could think of, to my first poem! I'm sure there must be a lady out there that has said this at some time... lol

Both poems highlight the chasm between male and female ideas of romance and foreplay. A7 and good luck in that contest.

Thank you Robert, I don't think this will be a flier in the contest, but it was fun to try and come up with a female response!

I read a poem by Mia Pratt yesterday about men and woman which gave me the idea for the response. I've got a sneaking suspicion a few ladies may just get this! : )
