Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Taken For a Ride

Saville row suit with lots of loot
You start to talk - his jokes are a hoot
No wedding ring upon his finger
You hold his gaze and let it linger

You leave together in his fancy car
Passionate kisses follow – you go too far
He promises to call you like some men do
Has he just made a fool of you

You don’t know anything; not even his name
It takes two to tango – you are both to blame
Nine months later and your baby arrives
The only thing you know is the car he drives

One day you see this man in the street
A wife by his side, 2 kids at his feet
You stare at him and catch his eye
He looks at the baby and then at the sky

I have no idea where the idea for the poem came from  - it just took 5 minutes to write

Tim Smith March 22, 2014 at 8:32 PM Who knows where are inspiration comes from sometimes. This is a wonderful write Jan...This is a subject gets to me..Every man should be responsible for their actions. Jan Allison March 22, 2014 at 8:40 PM It's so weird Tim - I was sitting watching an old 'waking the dead' tv programme - it had no links with the poem at all - 5 mins later it was written - how odd. Long live inspiration wherever it appears from I am thankful when it strikes me. Hugs as ever Tim. Jan xxxx
