Notes About The Poem

Men and women have always had their issues with interactions. We are not the same, and never will be, no matter how hard we attempt to force the issue.

I'M a Touchy Feely Guy

I'm a Touchy Feely Guy

I'm a touchy feely guy
Who loves his fellow man
Loves patting people on the back
And shaking other's hands

Love telling women they look good
If indeed they do
May give you such a compliment
If I come in touch with you

I'm not a rich and powerful
Not an influential man
Only want to say you're looking good
Not to pinch you on the can

Don't want to take you to a bar
Or put drugs in your drink
Just want to make you smile a bit
When I tell you what I think

What I do, I'm told not right
Words could be taken wrong
Could be seen as just a pervert
With compliments that don't belong

So I guess I'll stop my practice
Of complimenting what I spy
Try hard not to look at you
Won't say hi when passing by

Maybe I'll just stay at home
Do my shopping on the net
Then I'll have no interactions
With anyone I might regret

It's a shame when a friendly person cannot be friendly without being suspected of ulterior motives. Thanks for visiting.
