Notes About The Poem

Shopping can be SO much fun - don't you think?


 

Shopping Lists

*(a poem in Senryus)*

You don’t have to count,
when you lose a boyfriend, you
know. There was just one.

He was gone before
I knew it - he wasn’t, you know,
tied up or anything.

For a moment I
toy with saying, “Alexa, add
rope to my shopping list."

In High School boyfriends 
come and go - it's like shopping
- where you return things.

So many things I could say to you on the subject but it wouldn't be anything you haven't heard before. Everybody must learn for themselves to navigate the mysterious seas of human relationships. Just don't lose respect for yourself along the way. John

I won’t lose self respect - I’m not THAT desperate - but thanks for the advice =]
