Nelson

Do you think we’re emotionally compatible? What crackpot class have you joined now. I'm taking a holistic course. Why don’t you go and have an affair, you’ll feel better. No, listen, I want inside your mind. You don’t, take my word for it. Soon I’ll be able to heal your body and mind. Have you ever thought about counselling I'm just searching for myself. Just wish you’d hurry up. Why don’t you come with me, I've already mentioned you to the teacher? Oh, no you don't, history teacher, history class, coming back to you. That’s why I need to get into your mind. Have you ever thought that maybe I'm the sanest person on the planet. Yes, I used to until that time we got lost, and you refused to ask for directions. I didn't need directions Were you afraid the guy would laugh at you No, that had nothing to do with it Because you can't read a map No silly, he said his name was Nelson Did that upset you, was that it Did you learn nothing in that history class Well, not map reading He only had one eye Who only had one eye Admiral Nelson And that upset you Jesus woman, nobody upset me, he couldn’t give me directions cos he only had one eye How does that stop him from giving directions What, isn't it obvious Not to me He can’t reverse a car can he What’s stopping him The blind spot stupid Oh my god, and I wanted inside your mind, you’re a hundred percent crackers Well, you sure as hell don’t want to go out with a guy whose crackers You’re damn right I don’t, consider yourself history Thank god for that, hate long term relationships, three weeks, how did I cope.

LOL Paul. This is so funny and the bantering dialogue reminded me of Gracie Allen and George Burns comedy acts. You are very skilled at this and the endings are always so wonderfully surprising.

Dear Paul, a wonderful delightful insightful poetic dialogue! I adore the humor that was steadily built, verse upon verse, as the poem progressed.. had me intrigued, then smiling, then giggling, then laughing with your amazing last line.. a grand finale for sure! Fantastic my poet friend! Warmest wishes.. ~Susan
