DORIS'S MEN.

A WOMAN AND THE MEN IN HER LIFE.

The other two dames listened as Doris
Moaned on about the men in her life and
The husbands she’d had and had rid herself

Of and how once she’d just made it to the
Honeymoon night and he’d left her in the
Morning without a word and left her in

Bed staring up at the ceiling with that
Deep blues and deserted feeling and the
Other dames looked at her but said nothing

They just let her pour out her tale as she
Often did and they knew the stories well
And could if asked have related them word

For word but they sat and listened hoping
That Doris would somehow alter the tale
A bit maybe add a few different lines

Put in something new elaborate on
Certain aspects especially about
Husband number four the joker who’d left

Her for some guy from the Bronx and you know
What said Doris I just wish I could live
Without men wish they meant nothing to me

But they do I can’t even sleep at night
Without them crowding my dreams and poking
Their heads into my thoughts can’t walk down the

Shopping aisle without wanting to grab a
Guy around the waist and kiss his darn neck
And the dames smiled and looked at each other

And then looked at Doris with her drawn back
Blonde hair and drooping tits and potbelly
Showing through her pale blue dress and wondered

How any girl young or old bright or dim
Butt ugly or beautiful could get
Herself her thoughts her life in such a mess.
