Better Not Ask Me Poem by Shel Silverstein
Better Not Ask Me
(Hey the truth might hurt so I'm tellin' you now that you better not ask me)
Hey you better not ask me where I been all night
Why my eyes are shinin' and my spirit is flyin'
You better not ask if I been doin' right or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me bout the girls I used to know
And days I used to run around before I ever met you
You better not ask how they compare to you or I just might tell you
And you better not ask me if I'm satisfied
With the way you've been givin' me what you call lovin'
Better not ask me bout the times I cried or I just might tell you
So keep on doin' what you're doin' and if you should see me straight
Well don't you ask baby just let it pass baby
And maybe it'll go away but I don't doubt it
You better not ask me if I'm gonna stick around
Or pack up all my bags and find another pretty city
You better not ask me who it is I found or I just might tell you
A thought provoking poem on modern life

And the difference between the lovers will go on. A beautifully crafted poem that makes it an interesting reading a about how sometimes differences comes out between lovers and they promise to go to any length to satisfy their ego. Nice poem to share. Thanks.

Better not ask 'why you doing this'... If satisfaction lives in the doings of doer...
