kissing frogs in lieu of common sense

I don't know where this one is going, it just sounded right

She's tired of ...

kissing frogs in lieu of common sense;
her lips are parched and dry,

each one holds his own consequence,
there's not enough balm to apply

maybe time to call it a day
and curl up with the cat,

there's safer ways a girl can play
men simply aren't all that.

Author's Note

an 8/6 rhyme scheme.

I have definitely been there! You describe the feelings well, using relatable imagery. Nowadays, I like my frogs croaking & splashing in my front porch doggie water bowl! *wink! wink!*

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks so much for visiting these older pieces.:)

[Lorry]

No, we certainly isn't. To be truthful, I'm just amazed we've been put up with for so long. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

thanks for dropping in to this one. Yes, well, I was in a mood at the time. Mostly I like men (for now).:)

This is funny, made me larf!

[Lyn Anderson]

That, of course, was the intention.:)

Very funny and the song is simply sublimely ironic.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, April, for all the reviews.

[AprilRN1210]

it is always my pleasure.. you know I like to rack them up and enjoy the ride..

[Rene Salinas]

Agreed, at times contorting into your own is a way of re - connecting. In my case a therapeautic one as recharging is very much needed in order to continue the path.


Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you, as always, Rene, for your ever thoughtful reviews.

Gotta love the soft kittens. So much less complicated than a difficult man. This one actually made me chuckle! Nice writing, KLG!

[Lyn Anderson]

Glad to be of service.:)

Rather have the cats..those toads can create a big mess in your life

[Lyn Anderson]

Yeah I am digging my cat at the moment. Thanks for popping in.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

The dating pool is certainly full of slimy things that can give you warts on your heart.

A great play on words.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for stopping by as always.:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

As always my pleasure :)

Sometimes, you think you're kissing a frog and then it turns out to be a toad.
Everyone knows toads can give you warts if you're not careful, so yeah....
Definitely be safe about the love and make sure you know exactly who you're kissing. :D

There's a lot of em purport to be Princes and aren't:)

I dated the king of pain once upon a time. :)
You know him too I think. :)
