Mister Killjoy

A brand-new fur coat
   The latest smart phone
Four cruises a year
   An ocean-front home

She must have it all
   Says money's no object
Yet at times he objects
   To her kind of logic

What we do for love. Nice flow.

Without love, I guess we'd be pretty lazy, self-centered folks, eh?! :) gw

Four cruises a year! I know her! She is my best friend and her name is Susan and she is single so I am trying to picture who the "he" is.

It's Susan's invisible friend, of course!! (What happened to those faeries you write about? Aren't they invisible to 'commoners' as well? LOL). Thank you, Caren. Cheers, Gershon

Ah, the wise musing of a man given the key to his ball-and-chain buy (pun intended) his better half. Lol! A very witty poem, Shon! And the ink acid drip burns w/truth from atoned pure lips. (As we forgive each other our faults.) Ty for sharing this delightful muse. Love and peace always.

Freddie, that ball and chain is every woman's dowry, eh?!… Thanks, Gershon :)

As they say, "Women are from Venus, Men are from Mars.." (Or is it the other way around; I forget)… btw, please note the phrase 'at times' in the poem... Usually the (wise) male/husband will go with the flow, so to speak... Smiles, Gershon
