The Bassoon Players Sista

she told me the biggest lie she ever told him
" was she loved him"
she said she loved the guy
who made #17,000 a year
and worked sundays
to buy her a car.
but she rather have been
with some else 
because
she never had the right words
to tell him,
she only wanted to have a
roommate relationship with him,
it was easy to do, when 
your friends tell you word by word
what your mate say's.
she heard that he said she was
some kind of weird church woman,
when she heard this she stopped going to church
and when the "sista's at the church at the mission
heard
she had a friend they introduced her
to someone else to ease her away from the guy.
she became pregnant by the horn player,
and never told the bassoon player any different.
when the baby was born, the docter laughed
in her face, and memebers of the staff
told her she must've been kidding!"
