The Clue

I didn't have a clue. I was clueless until you In a poem threw It out there for me to view, To view and to chew. And chew it I did until in the face I was blue. It's nothing new But who knew In a closet I'd find a man as handsome as you? So gentle you gave me the boot (shoe) At first over my head it flew. But as I thought and began to boo hoo, It slowly soaked in like a case of the flu. I was so sick that up I threw into A pot the color of blue. Now I know why I can't have you.

It's a sad poem, but also written in a sometimes very funny way (boot-shoe). I hope you be okay... I wish you Happy Mardi Gras!

Carole, That would hurt a great deal and would be quite a shock. Sad and a well written heartfelt poem.
