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
