The Meeting

What do ya want? It's a poem, right?

She said she was sophisticated 

and then hooked up with me 

Hanging around in my baggy shorts

and black wife beater tee

I met her at the Laundromat 

She had on yoga pants 

Her apple bottom a*s singing 

a song of hot romance

Oh man did I want a piece of that 

deep in my DNA
I had to run some game on her 

and keep my lust at bay

And I don't have what you'd call game 

I blurt out what I think 

Schmoozing ain't my specialty 

So I don't over think 

The view was blaring on TV 

I hate that goddamn show 

A bunch of women talking s**t 

I just don't want to know 

I blurted out "you watch this show?" 

She looked up and said "Huh?"  

Her default when she's caught off guard 

That's when her brain goes "duh" 

She said she didn't watch the show 

and then we talked some crap 

and then I pulled the big guns out 

My service record rap 

Suddenly she was interested 

in everything I said 

What I'd seen and what I'd done 

and where my boots had tread 

We went out late that afternoon 

the rest is history 

I must have got it right that day 

because she's still with me 

Author's Note

I don't really have "game." What I do have is a big smile, big muscles, a great sense of humor and enough common sense not to come on lecherous, creepy or needy. Unless you're trying to be some kind of pick up artist that's enough for a guy to find a nice girlfriend. I did

You understand that the best thing to do is to be yourself. Games eventually end but reality does not so you might as well be real from the start. Great poem and great advice.

Chance meetings can bring a lot of surprises and sometimes with humor. You make women feel worthy even when doing the dirty laundry. You have your ways to make them interested. Excellent...:)..............
