When They Say No Thank You

When They Say No Thank you. 

When you tell a guy that he’s not your type 

Make sure a hair is not hanging from your chin. 

When you tell a girl she’s too fat to dance, 

Make sure your eczema is not blooming behind your ears,

Your trousers secure, not showing cleavage.  

Tell a woman you look older

and do nothing to hide a sneer

Filled with missing teeth

When you sit back, booming

That you don’t need hearing aids, and 

The table five rows over answers 

Yes you do. 

Wonder why the ladies shrink

When you ask them to go for coffee?

The waitress more interesting than you? 

Perhaps it’s really is you, and

Not them.
