Robert Pettit Poet Light Verse

I Don'T Waste My Time With a Phony Baloney

If I care for a woman, but she doesn’t care for me,
I will just get up and not hesitate to flee.
I will not waste my time with such a phony baloney.
A relationship only works when there is mutual interest.
She has to meet me halfway; or I’ll cross her off my list.
Even if she is the personification of Venus, she won’t be missed.
I have nothing to worry about if the woman I’m with is wrong.
Just like buses and trains on schedule, another one will come along.

Larry Berdoo March 20, 2014 at 4:06 AM You made some stong points here Robert. I believe being right up front from the start is best. If it starts to sour between youselfs early on, put your cards on the table talk out, leave with a handshake. When things go well, its like writing, you just don't find it a shore.~~Nice Write~~

I think you're insinuating we're fickle and expensive .... just teasing, have a great night Robert Pettit March 19, 2014 at 12:17 AM Francine, I didn't say women were buses. I said they are like buses. None of them ever gave me a free ride, either.
