How To Get a Dame

The time has come to inform my boy
    and pass along the flame.
The secret of a mystery solved 
    on how to get a dame.
'Your looks are key as they set the tone 
    if you intend to flirt.
Chicks will sigh and their knees grow weak 
    when in your muscle shirt.

Inhibitions gone, they may faint 
    when showing off your guns.
Give them room as they may fall 
    when flexing both your buns.
There are many ways to achieve the goal 
    and meet the fairer sex.
One sure way that never fails... 
    is to talk about you Ex.

Go on and on how you love her still 
    and extol your broken heart.
Of good times past, of great things done, 
    she was a work of art.
Peak her interest and speak of the virtue 
    of the life you led.
But most of all... her interests lie 
    in how she was in bed.

Another way is to take her places 
    you've never been before.
Like galleries, the opera 
    and the dentist you abhor.
You could try cooking if money's tight 
    when strapped by alimony.
What woman living? Would not be pleased 
    with a cold plate of beefaroni.

Still not enough and she's unconvinced 
    that you might be the guy.
When she turns to flee, the stage is set 
    and the time has come to lie.
You tell her now of things you've done 
    as an Alpha Male.
Of flying jets and curing cancer 
    but not your time in jail.

If you're shy, just hide that fact 
    and avoid acting too polite.
Just drink too much as most chicks dig
    a drunk man in a fight.
She will start to swoon as her eyes grow big, 
    it's time you played your hand.
The simple fact remains... you forgot to say
    that you're a singer in a band.

These are time honored ways by men 
    who know... of things a little shady.
But the results have merit and your chances good 
    of picking up a lady.'
My boy takes a pause as he begins to say,
     'I think you should atone.
This may explain why to this day, 
    you're still living all alone.'

                    The End

*For those interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every second day.

This is such sound advice, and weirdly enough, some will follow it to the letter, not understanding it is satire, at her best!

I am thinking his son is so handsome he wants him to fail because he is jealous. Great advice for a guy trying to get rid of a blind date they never want to see again. Lol. The fact that you wrote this tells me you know exactly how to treat a lady and she would be lucky. Loved the humor David! : )

Loved the poem. All of us go about the sexual barnyard in different ways. You kill me,))) Panagiota No script for the Barnyard,I say. Shake your tail feathers, as they say or don't. You know what works for you.

Oops I was common speaking not realizing that by saying, "David this is the sh:×." Would bump me off So anyesy, about the real world, another amazing one David. The story line is cool; the wording is great; but I, just I myself, couldn't relate to the macho pick up a dame when I truly know that it's the brsin jajaja. Great read as always David.

G'day David … it's great to act like a rooster when in fact a feather duster is more to the point. Still in all, I reckon I've known plenty of blokes who fit the bill (but not the one in the mirror) - thanks Mate; great - Lindsay

Ha!! Ha!! I do think one might want to change their whole life to be a better man as it was said in the movie, "Something Has Got To Give". Thanks for dropping by. Your comments were uplifting. Sara

I'm not sure if this is fantasy or reality or some strange mixture of the two. Stay frosty my friend.
