Don'T Even Think It

It’s midnight and I’m alone downstairs I hope she’s sleeping, I’ve said my prayers Now I’m walking like I’m in a dream Sneak in the kitchen for some ice cream DON”T EVEN THINK IT Back upstairs I hear her snore So I slowly shut the bedroom door Be very careful so she doesn’t wake Sneak back downstairs to get some cake DON’T EVEN THINK IT Damn that woman can read my mind Or I’ve got an alarm tied to my behind I’m getting so hungry, I could cry Just a couple of pieces of Pizza pie DON’T EVEN THINK IT Damn it woman I’m wasting away Don’t know if I’ll make it through another day I’m so weak I’m on my knees I’ll save myself with some chips and cheese DON’T EVEN THINK IT What would happen if I’d get sick and die Then you’d have to stay home and cry Now, because I don’t want to see you blue I’m going to eat those donuts just for you DON’T EVEN THINK IT Now a salad bowl would be just the right fit Ice cream, whipped cream, banana split Some chocolate, strawberry going to make my day Then I heard a voice behind me say DON’T EVEN THINK IT.

What a fun piece of poetry, Vince. :) Had women's intuition kicked in, or was it your own conscience? This is written extremely well..it's like this is the little boy in you. Love the last line...no longer was she calling out from upstairs, but directly behind you.:) This is sweet! Wishing the best to you and yours...God bless....Mikki

Vince, this is a very humorous read. Excellent imagery and flow throughout, thankfully your wife's voice though she was asleep managed to keep you from packing on a few more pounds in a moment of weakness.... "Don't Even Think It" is a fabulous write and at least you won't have to say the devil made me do it... lol Thank you for sharing the read and for your supportive critiques :-)God's Love and Many Blessings, Always, Adell

I got the picture, Vince. I am afraid I am in the same position at times. Only I am the only one to say DON'T EVEN THINK IT and once in a while I listen to the words. Ha Ha. Love it God Bless, Cile

Give her a big hug, and tell her thank you..it is out of love for you and she is concerned... ... eat some boiled prunes with a lemon cooked in with them..yummy...I am a pig when it comes to cooked prunes, I know that sounds awful, but I love them....this one made me giggle, I can just hear your wife scolding you....Busted...Always, Christy

Vince, if you're a baby boomer and I think you are we're at the stage in life where we can no longer eat like teenagers. So give you wife a big hug and kiss from me, as she is keeping you healthy and alive so you can continue to give us much joy and laughter iwth your poems. I love this poem. all my love (I feel you pain) louise nelson
