She was glamorous
She made the grade to a tee
Far as I could see
She was colorful
Had a sparkle in her eye
Only meant for me
She was so cheeky
So pretty this girl of mine
Oh, she was divine
Seasons come and go
And autumn took her away
Said she could not stay
I’ve no companion
She’s in the Caribbean
Keeping others warm

You gotta watch out for the glamorous ones. But she is a girl after my own heart, I mean - follow the sun. Winter is bleak. Great story, Old Egg.
ReplyDeleteI think there is a much longer story behind that poem, so nicely done. It makes me want to know more.
ReplyDeletethis is a great account of love gone wrong..,or love that never lasted.
ReplyDeleteyou really drive the point home when you speak of how she's now keeping others warm.

That last stanza is the best! You write such great poetry... simple but ... just really good!
ReplyDeletegreat poem!!! loved the story
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your pithy, intriguing poem.
ReplyDeleteCleverly done, this made me smile, Old Egg. Ahh yes, a girl of certain beauty and charm, here today, gone tomorrow, and on to other pleasures. I've known a few like that, but they sure knew how to make the boys smile when they were keeping company! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou can do better. You must find a way of dissuading these young girls from flocking to you. Everyone is entitled to some peace.Try a different after shave.!
