Premium Member Playing With Fire

She said, "play with my fire, you may get burned!" He played, he left, she was a woman spurned She started a false rumor In his groin a tumor His love life was done... a hard lesson learned....

Premium Member A Hard Lesson

I once had a friend, Elmer Fudder

Who had an obsession with butter

Could not tell bull from cow

But he soon found out how

Milking what he thought ... was an udder!

Premium Member Worst Morning After

One night,  this  fellow named Newt
Decided  to visit a prostitute
But she stole all his cash
 and gave him a rash
Then his wife gave him the boot

It was the worst morning after for Newt
after he  went to that  house of ill repute
When he pissed  it did  burn
A hard lesson learned
Of that there is no dispute

When Playing With Fire

Be proud my girl, but be humble. Be strong as well as gentle. Be courageous but never reckless. Do no harm, but take no crap. You are wild and fierce, determined and strong. I don’t aim to tame you, but guide you. To hopefully pass along hard lesson learned. I know all to well what ups and downs this life will bring. A fire burns inside you, ready to set the world on fire, but remember my girl, you too, are part of the world.

Yours To Keep

Do not expect tomarrow what is not cared for today
All love needs to be appreciated in every way
A life with love means a rich life indeed
Growing if nurtured just like a seed
It can make you or break you
I have no doubt thats true
Mistreat your love then you wait
Your choice will seal your fate
Love will leave never to return
A hard lesson you had to learn
All because you did not strive
As hard as possible to keep it alive


I Have Loved, Hurt, Broke Hearts, Lied But Most of All I Have Learned

She loved me
I loved her
She gave me all
I played her like a ball
I neglected her,
As a girl when she grows neglects her doll
I left her hurt
I broke her heart
As long as I live,
Myself I will never forgive
Clear rejection I gave
Now she will hate me until I go to the grave
In her heart I've now been banned
Insults, rejections and cursings I have earned
I loved, hurt, broke hearts, lied and now,
A hard lesson I have learned.
