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.
