He Wore a Tie

She was an artist
And he wore a tie
He was established 
She needed to fly

She loved the sensations
Danced to vibrations
She wasn't wired 
For logical thinking
She learned to detect
Rules and regulations 
And steered clear
Of these situations

He was a tad bit square
Didn’t always play fair
Oblivious to the severity
 of a triple dog dare
He took no chances
Sat out the dances
His biggest concern 
Was career advances

They lacked communication
She needed stimulation
Their marriage was built
On a hollow foundation 

She was faithful, still
An oblong pill
It hurt going down
But she had the will

While she was off
Painting the world
He was falling
For a business girl

A lady in heels
Gave him all the feels
Perfectly polished
Making business deals 

Well put together
From head to toe 
But lacking color
No sparkle or glow

The way he looked at her
Was something new
The man with no heart
Had the passion of two
