HOODA HELAMI ... Never Met A Man

________________________________________________________________________________________________


I never met a man
I couldn't see through,
talking to me
like I was
his old brown shoe

"It's great to have
a full life,"
he said
though his could be
measured in strife

"I always think about
when we were
in the 9th grade
—what was the teacher's name?"

I was smothered with shame
because he never knew my name

"Well, Tom, Dick, or Harry.
How many times did you marry?"
 
Before I could answer,
he said
"Me? I could never
find the right woman,
so I stopped looking
under the couch."
 
OUCH
 
I know my attitude stinks
but he paid for all the drinks
and to tell you the truth:
I passed out
before the ninth 
vermouth
