And then there’s that
One that one gnat
Buzzing around in darkness
Deemed to but harass
Keeping me awake swatting
Keeping me up swearing
Switching on the light
Showing him my might
To end this plight
And settle into night
Until that is you
Discover there’s actually two
Joy comes in flavors
Dark chocolate French vanilla
Mocha vanilla pistachio and
Strawberry I have tried
Them all believe me
I don’t prefer one
Over another I prefer
Them all with nuts
Of course my bad
Oh that was so
So very very bad
Laughter is by far
The sexiest expression in
The world far more
Than nudes laughter makes
Me want to kiss
It draws me in
So please keep your
Stares and your dances
And your common obscenities
Fill my heart with
Humor and silliness because
Our world is filled
With too mu seriousness
Tickle me with laughter
I will kiss you
Whomever you happen to
Be wherever you are
Sometimes you just
Have to accept
That the cards
Aren’t being dealt
In your favor
Or that you’ve
Eaten too much
Of too many
Things or even
That the evening’s
Date isn’t going
As well as
Planned that at
Some time you
Cash out push
Away or pay
The tab with
At least your
Minimum self respect
Still in tact
A long time
Ago in a
Faraway land called
Romance you showed
Your interest in
Another with conversation
An evening walk
Or sometimes even
Flowers and candy
But today in
The land called
Apps it’s performed
By a tap
Or a wink
Or a woof
Or a smile
Or even I
Suppose swipe right
