Off My Best List Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

If you want to stay on my back like that,
You'll be...
A lover gone.
And if you want to nit-pick with nonstop chat,
You'll be...
A lover gone.
You'll be,
A lover checked off my best list.

And if you want to nit-pick with nonstop chat,
You'll be...
A lover gone.
With a staying on my back to nag like that,
You'll be...
A lover gone.
You'll be...
A lover checked off my best list.
Without a doubt.
You'll be...
A lover checked off my best list.

And if you want to stay on my back like that,
You'll be...
A lover gone.
You'll be...
A lover without a nest.
You''ll be...
A lover who gets no rest.
You'll be...
A lover checked off my best list.
Without a doubt.
You'll be...
A lover checked off my best list.
And with a shut mouth...
You're off my best list.
