sex and french toast

Folder: 
2024

as I get older

I agree more and more with the sentiment that

love is a choice

love is time and effort

 

more years make us professional forgetters

believe me I will not be able to tell you

what you bought me last christmas

 

that just means

it is even more of a surprise

when you do the same thing again

lift me from the inside like it’s the first time

 

you make me want to

do stupid things

dance at midnight

make animal noises out loud

and not always turn the lights on

 

you make me want to

quit the game of the world,

stay cozy for a year or two or seven

sometimes give up my dignity

(for a few seconds)

to make you laugh like that

and then later

taste a piece of your dignity on my tongue

drawing a second dawn out of you

 

you with your poems spilling all my favorite words

you make me want to

sprint to the store every sunday morning

and make you a forever

 

you are the best kind of habit

I’ve been waiting all my life

to waste my time with you

The title of your poem..

The title of your poem, which I enjoyed reading, reminded me of something the late, great Rodney Dangerfield said about an old girlfriend:

'She was so sexy, she got her tongue caught in the toaster making French toast!'

By the way, do you know if you take the letters of your screen name and scramble them, you can come up with the following:

TALL SQUIRREL GIRL = R RL QUALLTIES GIRL

For many men looking for a long-term relationship, a common complaint is 'I meet many women, who like me, are ready to give up the single life and settle down, maybe start a family, but these womens qualities are superficial. Where do I find a woman of substance, a woman with real qualities?' Thank you for giving these men hope that there are women of qualities such as yourself, out there. Take care.

PS - Because I have no self-control, I also was looking at what I assume is your actual name:

MAYA HANSON = AYA HANNSOM!

Whoever is the special man in your life is one lucky guy. Is that how you greet him when you see him? I would love to have a woman say that to me! And from a woman of real qualities too! How lucky can a guy get?

Wanted to let you know one last thing. You might not, for whatever reason , not address that special man in your life by what I came up with by scrambling the letters of your name. If that's the case, I can only say one thing to you MAYA HANSON = AN SHAM ON YA!
