Not My Child

Once upon a shopping day you see,
A lady was staring at me,
She asked if I remember her,
Uncomfortably I said no,
To this she said, you must know,
As I have your child,
I jumped and explained my past that was wild,
I met a woman like you at the pub,
From there we went to a club,
We were both extremely drunk,
Probably as bad as a skunk,
I had my way with you on the table,
I had my way with you in the stable,
As a matter of fact so did my friend,
This I’m sure the enjoyment you did extend,
Well this could be why,
This child could be from any guy,
No you explained, you fool,
I am a teacher at your child’s school.

Mark,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
