HOT BEANS

Written for fun

“How much do I mean to you?”she asked,

While they lay outside in the hot sun and basked.

Look up, baby, at that beautiful blue sky;

I give you everything money can buy!

Why can’t you tell me how you feel?

I’m a man, baby, what’s the big deal?

Who was that woman I saw you with?

Oh honey, dearest, I plead the 5th.

Why do I even bother to stay with you?

Because you love me, baby, you know it’s true!

If you keep this up, I surely won’t!

Don’t make me beg, baby, please, please don’t!

I do not want you to beg, my dearest

But your words to me are not the clearest

I want your body, soul, and mind

Please make me yours for all time

He thought about how to answer her

But there was the other woman as it were

He did not want to spill those hot beans

So he took her on a trip to New Orleans.

He thought surely that would shut her up

Yet, when it didn’t, he bought her a pup

Why, my darling, must you so often ask

Why do you make everything such a task?

I only asked how you feel about me

It’s not a hard question that I can see

You think I don’t know you’ve been shaming me

With that despicable woman named Gracie Lee?

Pack your bags and get out now;

I make you this solemn vow!

If I ever again have to look in your face,

You’ll be singing soprano to Amazing Grace

I feel that this poem begins well but towards the end it seems a little forced...I can relate to that we can all get a bit bogged down as the story progresses. It aint half bad though

Thank you so much for taking the time to read and comment. I revised it a bit because I didn't like the ending.
