'They're all the same', I remember Mum saying,
'Only after one thing - and if it means paying - they will'
[ I think she had a low opinion of men ]
In a wild frenzied moment I forgot what she said
and I found myself groaning and writhing in bed
with a man who I thought might have felt something more....
- than my chest.
Well he still hasn't called,
did I really expect him to
pick up the phone and say, 'Hey babe! I've missed you? ! '
Of course I did
I'm a woman you see.
Not a cold blooded male
but a warm blooded Me.
So I sit
and I wait
'What a Rat,
What a Swine!
Men!
Huh. Never Again
Well maybe
Next time'.........
