This
"THIS"
“I fell in love with you,
you’re
very charming Eddie but I
didn’t
know you’d be this much of a
handful.”
that’s what they said but I
never
once heard it from their
mouths.
I guess I could ask them all
why
anyone in their right mind
would
love an old toad like me.
I’d answer simply:
“they’re in their right mind,
that’s why they love me.”
all I asked for was a female
who
could keep up with me.
was it selfish? possibly.
was it mean? it could be.
has it always been the right
desire?
indubitably!
everything at some point has
to
show you there is reason for
the
madness.
I say that but like the two
gnats
circling my face over my
typewriter,
every female bothers me.
to those young men who envy
me,
don’t.
if you must, you can keep all
of them.
thanks but, no thanks.
after the headaches,
after the talking of a lot of
fly food,
you’ll return them too.
they all returned me but I
remain free.
they became someone else’s
problem
and no longer a headache for
me.
