NEVER UNDERSTOOD.

NEVER UNDERSTOOD.

A Poem by Terry Collett
"

A WOMAN AND THE MAN WHO NEVER UNDERSTOOD HER.

"














Foxboro never understood her not
Even from the start she thought he had but

Looking back now she knows he never had
A clue that it was all talk and pretence

And putting on the style and taking her
Places he thought she’d like and getting her

To meet people he thought she’d get along
With but she didn’t like the places or

The people he took her to meet with their
Airs and graces and the boring places

And he always skirted the questions he
Always made out he never heard and oh

Yes he’d say oh yes you’ll meet the best of
People and go to the right places the

In places and he’d sit back in his chair
With that smugness of his and she thought he

Understood her knew what she was about
But he didn’t she knows now he didn’t

Have a clue and waiting for another
Day to begin waiting for the old day

To go and become a bad memory
Just another bit of her history

Another closed page on the living book
And she counts out the things she gave to him

And the things that he tainted spoilt and took.
