Why I'm Now Afraid Of Women Poem by James McLain

I'm attracted to professional women
Of course the rest I've seen on Jerry Springer.
Basing my attractions which of course
Is my own discrimination.

I am older now,
And am looking back trying to determine
How much was my fault.

I like a woman unafraid to take charge
I'm still at my age quite and bashful.
While we here whom are will not admit it.

Being broke is a serious admission, though
If she really likes me it's been said
It doesn't matter.
I can't except while she's asleep, get
Into her head and take a small peek.

So yes every day that passes us by, I
Cannot but wonder if I'm a looser.
To many people around me have said
If I'm making no money on my writing
Some have read.
But then again writing to me is at this
Point in my life
The most important thing that I can now do.
While those haters we all run into can
Hardly write and or speak.

One likes to be around intelligent woman
Educating my self to those here around me.
Being here is like Orson Wells saying
In that voice that says, Rose Bud.
While eating fish and chips now that
You know me.
