kissing frogs in lieu of common sense

kissing frogs in lieu of common sense

A Chapter by Lyn Anderson
"

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
.

Besame mucho. Now that takes me back to my misspent youth, that song was being performed a lot, I can't recall the singer now, but I thought I was bad a*s because I knew what the title meant.
The poem is a good one, nice work on the rhyming.
How is the cat doing?

This is original but other versions were more popular
Adorable rhyming here! Kissing frogs can get old after a while, no doubt about it. Your sense of humor is still alive and well, KL. Lydi**
