A lesson for the Old Dog

well, dude, that's what you get when you hit on me at my parent's table.

Dear Sir,

How can I make it clearer?
Take a good look in the mirror.
I 'm not exactly the type
To giggle and swoon,
For a man who's way past ripe,
And a little out of tune.
You and your big fat wallet
Are not what wets my palate.

I'm not overly impressed
By your tacky leather vest,
I understand your hunger
Baby, let's be realistic,
To pursue someone younger ...
Why teach old dogs a new trick,
When you can get a new pup,
Who can always keep (it) up!

Ouch. I somehow feel that I, and all men have somehow been put in their place, as we all stumble around, looking sheepish and staring intently at the floor. :)
I am suitably ashamed. Me bad. We bad. What just happened? :)

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha ha, very funny. I would say such men want something they can't have, because they don't know how to get it.

Oh he's a hollow man...lol, this is crackup funny hon! Go you.
Brilliantly suited song. R xo

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks. Family dinner brings unexpected inspiration.

oh yes...the wallet doesn't make love...the man does...takes more than money to satisfy, doesn't it?

got a big grin from reading this one.

Thank you. It's amazing, but the type of shallow person who cares about that stuff isn't what these shallow men want. They want real, when they aren't real themselves.:)

Lol. This made me laugh. I got hit on recently by a guy while my daughter was with me.
To be fair, he didn't see her though... In my case, I think he was shocked and he backed off quick.
Love the song choice. :)

[Lyn Anderson]

This guy isn't subtle at all. My dad outwardly laughed at him, telling him he couldn't keep up with me. It was hilarious.:)

[Papaya]

Lol. :)
Way to go dad!

[redzone]

John Travolta hit on you???!!!! Old dude!!! love those last two line KL and with an (it) too.... OMG...

a fun poem here KL and I would say you hit him where it hurts and then twisted (it)...

redzone
ps... I doubt he learned much though...

[Lyn Anderson]

Poor John, but this guy reminded me of that movie -- old dudes trying to be too cool. You gotta be a little smoother than that ...:)

[Sami Khalil]

I had to smile a little at this wonderful slap in the face poem with realistic expectations. Glad you are not impressed when pressed by those types...Excellent, KL.

Hi Sami, have not seen you in a while. A bit awkward when your dad invites a friend for Thanksgiving dinner and he thinks his friend's daughter is dessert.:)

[Sami Khalil]

Wow. You are welcome....:))))
