There Once Was…Redux

 

 

NOTE: Special thanks to my friend Muse,

on the Writers Café for this

new and improved version

of this poem. Hope you like it. ~ SM

 

A pastor who signed my Yearbook.

He autographed his name with,

“Hey Baby girl, I’m a Priest.

Take a walk with me

around my church.

For fun I like to,

cuddle ‘round the alter,

take a dip with me,

in the sacramental wine.

Not to mention,

I love to skinny dip,

in the holy water.

Tell me sweetie,

what do you like to do?”

 

A police officer on MySpace.

He liked to hit on me.

He would say,

“Hey, bro, I’m a cop,

wanna see my night stick?

I like coffee,

and jelly-filled donuts.

I Shoot guns,

and play with handcuffs.

This is what I do for fun.

Cuddling in front

of a perp is wrong.

And so is dipping into the

Confiscated ganja.

But

I won’t tell if you won’t.

What do you like to do?”

 

A doctor on Facebook,

who hits on women.

She would say,

“Hello, darlin’ I’m a doctor,

I like watching Grey’s Anatomy,

and reruns of ER.

George Clooney,

I admit...he is so hot!

Grabbing ‘free samples’ of pain.

Medication is my idea of fun.

Slipping out of my scrubs,

and getting it on,

with a hot young nurse,

is just as nice.

So tell me,

what do you like to do?”

A senator on twitter.

She hits on men.

She says,

“Hey, voter. I’m a senator.

I like screwing the common man.

Taking kickbacks, and not having

to pay your high taxes.

I dipped into Uncle Sam's money,

for my latest new car.

Is just so easy to cheat.

So tell me.....

what do you like to do?”

Author's Note

I wanted to thanke Muse once again for her help. I'm keeping the original version posted. This is in response to her personal challenge to me to rewrite it and also what she has added to it.
She didn't have to help, but she did. Thanks Muse. You rock!

Love it,
definately added more interest in the poem.
So much ego rubbing of males going on in the world.
It's still very much a man's world to me.

This poem has an important message, andit makes the reader ask... "can I relate to this?" If yes, why? The reader, are they the victim or the predator here. I think this is a great conversation piece. So glad you gave this writing some TLC. xo
