A Woman Says 'Talk Dirty To Me'...(Humor) *

Rating: 4.8


A woman runs around the house all day
Thinking 'This night, I'll play,
I'll tickle his fancy when he gets home.
After all, I've cleaned, cooked, all alone.'

Then through the door her man appears
With bundles of flowers, a case of beer,
His caseload of work, and smiling still!
The woman is happy! Steaks on the grill! !

They dine with candles alight,
He pats her ass, whispers, 'Tonight.'
She's bought a naughty at a store.
Slithers into bed and hears the snore!

Slithers out of bed, smashes a plate
Loud enough to begin a debate.
He stumbles, grumbles into the room
Where his love is flying a broom.

'What's THAT all about, what's the matter? '
As another plate flies at his head to shatter,
She spits, 'I'm going home to Mother! '
'You ARE your mother, doen't even bother.'

Scores a 10 for the humor. Unfortunately I have to be hit between the eyes sometimes to get the message.

Oh, this has me rolling around.... so true and yet so characatured (I guess characatures, like cliches, are there for a reason) .... guess who I won't be showing this to! :) t x

I've enjoyed reading a number of your poems, but this one is absolutely tops for me. Written with economy and assurance, lovely images, superb pacing, gusto, and perhaps even a hint of compassion lurking behind the tough-minded farce. Nothing belabored, yet crystal clear. Neither hard nor soft on your characters. Perfect pitch on the humor of the situation. The final two stanzas are awesome. Plus the poem resonates (at least with me) far beyond the situation you describe so well. I've come back to Talk Dirty a couple of times, and each time I'm impressed. If you haven't entered this in contests or had it published, you should. This is one to be proud of. I don't often comment on others' poetry, but I felt I needed to on this one. Thanks!

The poem is mystifying and leads one to a different world of thoughts.
