An Old Story Poem by Bob Hicok
An Old Story
It’s hard being in love
with fireflies. I have to do
all the pots and pans.
When asked to parties
they always wear the same
color dress. I work days,
they punch in at dusk.
With the radio and a beer
I sit up doing bills,
jealous of men who’ve fallen
for the homebody stars.
When things are bad
they shake their asses
all over town, when good
my lips glow.

Regards, Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch Poetess., World Traveler and Evangelist.

I enjoy humor, irony, good writing and imagination- -usually get a good poem to read out of that mixture!
