Up For Debate? Poem by Theodora (Theo) Onken

Listening to that ole' Mississippi beat
And lookin' for clever converstaion-i take a look
So many issues at hand to debate
Surely enough to publish a little ole' book;
I found him in the corner hunched over
Drinkin' his Jack Daniels straight
Talkin' 'bout his Cobalt Blue Chev pickup
Not much at all to debate;
His closely cropped hair's red and white stood out
But his mostly white beard was gone
Same ole' large belly just hanging over his belt
Talkin' 'bout bein' up to no wrong! ;
Talkin' 'bout how he watched her closely!
Parked 'cross from her home for only a moment yesterday
How he wrote about her constantly
And got no where to his utter dismay! ;
'I dream about her constantly'
'When i'm awake she is forever on my mind'
I open my eyes wide to search
It is her sweet face that i find;
'I am totally consumed by her words'
Read them and always apply them to me
'Yes, i know she truly cares deeply '
Yet, why is it so hard for her to see? ;
Someone told me that she was annoyed by my attention
Now, that is just ridiculous to me
'As i am so devoted to her every breath'
'Know that we are fated to be! '.
He wanted to know what i thought!
I told him that it wasn't up for debate!
He asked me what i meant by that!
I answered honestly: 'It's Obsession And Hate!
