We’re both lying there...afterwards.
He says to turn the heating down a notch;
he’s hot, I’m cold.  The same old story.
 
By the way, he says, forgot to mention,
today, in the January sales at HMV,
buy one, get one half price. CDs,
of course. What else do you think? 
 
Saved us more than fifty quid!
 
There’s no arguing with that kind
of logic, nor when he says, Thanks,
for being so understanding. I’ll take you
out to dinner; next week, that is...after
I’ve been paid. That new Chinese place...
if you’d like. 
 
Kisses me – just where 
it turns me on...yet, only look at him,
for goodness sake!
 
He’s no Brad Pitt – not if I’m totally honest,
nor is he a contender for Mr. Universe, but nothing
a year’s subscription to the gym won’t put right.
 
He nibbles my ear – leaps off the bed, like
a thing possessed – yells out to me 
he’s running a bath, and am I coming too,
and I ask myself...what choice do I have?

I hope you are making a book of your poetry, Tina - this one's got to go in it.

Bee - I guess we all think of putting together a book, and I do...often.  But I don't know where to start. Maybe right heresmiley

 

Thanks, so much, for those encouraging words and I'm really pleased you enjoyed.

A book would be wonderful, Tina. I'm sure you've got enough good material to fill one. This is certainly a fine addition. Made me laugh.
