PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I wrote her a poem

so I could lay her

but I must admit

that neither was a work of art:

the poem or the lay

It goes that way sometimes

You just roll with the punches

and hope for the best

I mean, hey, you gotta do

what you gotta do

That’s all there is to it

I don’t have money

so I try to use poetry

I guess the problem is

that most women

are onto that scam

I try to wax poetic

and they get the Hell

out of the building

“Oh no, the would be poet.”

So I end up faring

poorly at both

I’m a failure as a poet

and as a stud

all that’s left now is

to roll over and die

I can’t write poetry

and I ain’t getting laid

Maybe I’ll become

a priest or a monk

At least then I’ll have

a legitimate excuse
