Sidney Beck Poet Quatrain

Culture Vulture

CULTURE     VULTURE


Once gave a girl I liked  a black 
Tribal mask from Africa, with real hair.
Don’t know why, but she gave me it back.
It all went downhill from there.

Then I fancied her sister  Gail
And at Christmas I presented her in vain
With my collection of clippings of toenail.
She never answered my calls again. 

Some women are very attractive
It’s nice to enjoy their tease,
But I’m a guy who’s culturally active,
And women are so hard to please.

Phyllis Babcock February 5, 2011 at 9:32 AM I agree that men don't understand women but to send toenails yuck that is --oh well--ha ha. Enjoyed the poem this morning. God Bless phyl

Carolyn Devonshire February 5, 2011 at 1:13 AM You really had me laughing outloud with the presentation of toe nails, Syd. The tribal mask was bad enough, but if my beau gave me toe nail clippings, I'd call the psychiatric ward. Men just don't understand women it seems. Goes to my favorites for its "personal" appeal! LOL Love, Carolyn
