Northern Gentleman

His mother was a fast talker
Her waist was tiny like a sharp dancer
Her long locks resembled waterfalls
and she had legs longer than a fast runner
His dad was a truck driver
He had many coins and women who were coin diggers
He was big and tall
And that's what made him so appealing to them all

He grew up knowing what he wanted
A chance at life and to love anyone whom he trusted
He drew out his plans
He worked hard and became such a gentleman

Northern gentleman
You've seen some things
I know you've pulled out chairs
For more than just a few women
Northen gentleman
Tell me some tales
Tell me what you've done
And what you wish you did

They say gentlemen from the North are smart
They've got good looks and great hearts
They say gentlemen from the North are cool
They talk slick but with no attitude
Just a smile and a nice to meet you
A kiss on the hand
And plans for fancy rendez-vous

I don't know him
I just know his mother was a fast talker
With a tiny waist and long legs
And his father was a man on the road,
Who never, ever had to beg.

I don't know him.
But the people who did, say
My father was a Northern gentleman.

Beautiful Poem. I like the Imagery. Really takes you back in time and it has a very good feel to this poem. And Of course I like the revelation given to the reader at the end of the peom.
