I'm The Lord-Of Sort-Of

I’m the Lord-of Kind-of Sort-of Can’t make up my mind No yes nor no Just maybe baby Give me some more time I’m not ready To go steady Can’t we stick to dating Don’t you worry There’s no hurry Nothing wrong with waiting As the Lord-of Kind-of Sort-of I will not court a bride Til’ came the Queen Of In-Between Who also can’t decide We’re both unclear Which way to steer And should we say, ‘I do’ Then thought, perhaps We’ll let time lapse Until we have a clue As the Lord-of Kind-of Sort-of I don’t get much done But with the Queen Of In-Between We sure have lots of fun

I really liked this poem. It points to question "is avoidance better than honesty?" Maybe so. The style and rhyming was great.

Thanks for the comments. Ahh, to get away with a little avoidance for a while like a fictional character...

This is precious, David. Perfect for the times, or for perhaps the entire second half of the twentieth century as well. Remember that ding-bat ding-donger of a movie that featured this line: "Being in love means never having to say you're sorry." Can't remember its name, but it was a real kind-of-sort-of special, eh? Kudos, Gershon

Yes, nothing like a mushy movie line to let one get away with almost anything, lol.
