A FUN LOVING GUY

He stole hearts and he was smooth, but something is amiss----

FUN LOVING GUY

 

She was only a poor workman`s daughter

Quiet as the morning`s dew

She longed for the rapture she found in words

Sadly she found only you

 

The gigolo posed shirtless and smooth

Aloof the kids called him cool

He wrote all these beautiful words

The words that made poor  Angela  drool

 

Around here they called him a poet

Down at the hardware we called him a fool

He spewed incense in words and joined a group

Of sleek and slimey males by the pool

 

These poets all spoke in a rapture of words

Angela poor innocent girl

Preened and adjusted all that she owned

Unknowingly adoring his curls

 

The day came when out of the blue

She confessed that she needed this jewel

Angela now stolen from out of our world

Angela lured away by this fool

 

When Angela thought him to propose that day

For he was a poet you know

She listened for his voice a soft quiet glow  

Instead she heard them tell her "he`s gay".

I did not see -that- coming. I liked that this evoked feelings in me for Angela. I feel so bad that this guy led her on. Good job with this. I liked it.

HAHA. Your poems are really a good way to end my day. And it's really funny how this GASP moment has just happened to me recently. :)) Love the twist. Keep on writing. :)

' He spewed incense in words and joined a group / Of sleek and slimey males by the pool ' - picked up on this and so wasn't too surprised by the final line! Oh but this post is sad-funny and the meter's great.. you've created a real tale - in fact, can see a short film lingering among the full stops and commas.

As ever you've written a wonderful post, one to enjoy but, be warned by :))

Insightful, creative, and profoundly funny, I love how the poetic story plays out and twists until the very last line. Excellent write!

So funny . I had fun reading this. The girl must be hurt though. Well, reality bites.
