My Shortcomings
MY SHORTCOMINGS ARE OVERWHELMING - HOWEVER MY STRENGTHS ARE DEFEATING THEM - POETRY CONTEST
I stood there,
...slowly...
I removed my clothes...
you could tell that my date who was
about to see me naked for the first time
was...was...well...EXCITED!
I was worried she would slide off her seat.
shirt?
gone!
sexy...
pants?
gone!
sexy...
one piece
long underwear?
an obvious crowd pleaser
I did not time it
but it was a long time
for her to get over her joy.
at one point I think she stopped breathing
she was definitely moved
there were tears in her eyes
I believe her hysteria was a nervous laugh
she was laughing
hard.
long underwear?
gone!
finally naked
I stood there exposed
the look on her face
was not good,
I am sure I could hear,
a song blaring loudly in her mind
"Is that all there is, is that all there is..."
My shortcomings are overwhelming,
I was embarrassed
I was angry
I wanted to be mature about the situation,
immediately,
instantly,
I stuck my tongue out at her,
my twelve inch tongue,
I think she noticed I could breathe through my ears
her face lit up
once again she fell off her seat
My shortcomings are overwhelming,
both naked I started pleasing her
she yells
"there is a God!"
However my strengths are defeating them.
that's it,
Ok
you can leave now,
Goodbye
excuse me this next part is private,
LEAVE!

I am entering this write in the contest.
When I saw the title of the contest this came to mind.
I thought humor being my greatest strenght I would
write this in an attempt to overcome my deppression
thank you for the oppurtunity Verena.
Laughter is the best medicine...unless your a diabetic...
....and then insulin...insulin is the best medicine.
