kissing frogs in lieu of common sense

I don't know where this one is going, it just sounded right

She's tired of ...

kissing frogs in lieu of common sense;
her lips are parched and dry,

each one holds his own consequence,
there's not enough balm to apply

maybe time to call it a day
and curl up with the cat,

there's safer ways a girl can play
men simply aren't all that.

Author's Note

an 8/6 rhyme scheme.

The only problems, with cats, KL, is cleaning up their hairballs.

[Lyn Anderson]

I cleaned up a lot worse :)

[therisa]

I can imagine so, KL. But litter boxes, take the cake, with 3 cats.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

definitely got more than warts from this piece....and yes, men aren't all that...and there is nothing like a Cat.

[Lyn Anderson]

He curls comfortably on my hip, doesn't snore, is cheap to feed, and eats mice

[Delmar Cooper]

You can catch something from that.

Or is it toads? Good rhyme

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks Delmar, trying to step outside my comfort zone paying closer attention to the technicalities.

This is perfect. I feel like this any second. I'm trying to apply what I am reading both to technique and cull out what I can to understand the practical elements of each real problem or good thing deed in propriety and impropriety as seesawing would happen.
I agree and must if I want to get any better at anything. (Not to feel defeatist or anything.)

Besame mucho. Now that takes me back to my misspent youth, that song was being performed a lot, I can't recall the singer now, but I thought I was bad a*s because I knew what the title meant.
The poem is a good one, nice work on the rhyming.
How is the cat doing?

[Lyn Anderson]

This is original but other versions were more popular

[Lydia Shutter]

Adorable rhyming here! Kissing frogs can get old after a while, no doubt about it. Your sense of humor is still alive and well, KL. Lydi**

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks and yes it is:)
