A Sweet Thang Needs Sugar...(Humor) Poem by elysabeth faslund

A Sweet Thang Needs Sugar...(Humor)

Rating: 4.8


All I want is love...
Say it.
All I want is the world...
Wrap it.
Not to cry anymore...
Kleenex.

But, there's three problems.

Of love...you don't speak.
The world...you don't know your backyard.
Not to cry...Kleenex HELL! ! !

Get me four king-size comforters,
Two bottles of vodka,
Carton of cigarettes...and
A one-way ticket to Montego Bay.

And if you ever learn
To make a bow,
After I'm gone...
Stick it on your ass.

Brave, Bold, and dashingly Irreverent, highlighted in that contumeliously magnificent final verse! ! !

Only vodka? This sounds like it calls for some major drinking...

A brilliant solution to my tears....a one-way ticket to Montego Bay! Great advice my friend.

Love, the world, not to cry anymore - that just about covers it. I had that all - in deluded moments, then the hammer fell. Thanks for the re-greeting - I have been writing, just not posting. - Marc
