Joyce Johnson Poet Light Verse

Man Bait

Oh don't think that I ain't seein
As you roll them purty eyes
And my man stands there a gogglin
Like he'd won some sorta  prize.
My ma taught me aplenty
How to keep that man of mine
And how to reel him back in
When he gets too long a line.

You'll be feelin mighty foolish
When I cut you down to size,
For there ain't no man worth keepin
Can resist my apple pies.

Carolyn Devonshire August 14, 2009 at 3:31 PM Great work, Joyce! I love both the concept and the execution. Had a great laugh at the end. If I send you my address, will you send an apple pie to me? Women like them too. I do love the way you stood up to this flirt in your poem. A strong, wise, woman! Love, Carolyn
