He calls himself “fashion poet”,
One or two others know it…
In pursuits
Avoiding lawsuits,
He certainly doesn’t want to blow it!
–
Him being man and all,
Must carefully judge his call…
With less passion
Than stereotypical fashion,
Not being the Beast at the ball.
–
Gender matters to him,
Especially if women…
They’re the kind
He most has in mind,
Do they mind if he tiptoes in?

STIR NOT UP LOVE OUT OF ITS TIME!
(Opinion, based upon Song of Songs 2:7)
Song of Solomon two: seven,
Reminding of the right time for heaven…
Out of context
Is frustrating sex,
Add reason to loaves with leaven.
–
Sing and dance while you’re young,
Older folks, more foolishly done…
Appointed seasons
Make good reasons
Accepting you are also-run!
–
Pressure without outlet
Just how stupid we get…
Romance out of time
Invites inner grime
When we are told, “NYET!”.
–Jonathan Caswell
WHY EVEN MENTION IT?
He saw it happening again,
Desiring more than a friend…
Resisting that pull
To pull the wool
Over his eyes and pretend.
–
At least once a year he goes,
into these attraction throes…
Always one-way
He dare not stay
Too close to a prospective rose.
–
Happens so often he
Knows eventually…
The “old nature”
Legislature
Votes for a juicy affaire!
–
“Resistance is futile,” some say,
But rather just walk away…
Run if you must
From growing lust,
Be true to your beloved night and day.

JOANNE LEFT ALONE
Joanne was left alone
To run things here at home…
Administration
Is her station,
A paragon of efficiency honed.
–
Alas, Eric got a call
To be on site after all…
But we’ll enjoy
Her presence (OH, BOY!)
And Eric’s, after the snowfall.
–
Joanne we certainly trust,
Tender–like well-made pie crust…
Efficiency, caring
(We love what she’s wearing),
Her continuing here is a must!
–Jonathan Caswell
THE OLD GOAT DIDN’T WIN
The old goat did not win,
He wanted to see someone slim…
With sex appeal–
It didn’t congeal–
Both girls just ignored him!
–
He then apologized
When stony silence advised…
They wouldn’t come through
Nor offer him view
Of either set of lovely eyes.
–
He placated with poetry,
It was little else if not free…
No answer given
Denied heaven
Or whom he was hoping to see!
–
(At least in my universe,
I contacted an old friend nurse…
Who did reply
With a passed-along “HI”
But the above’s disappointment was worse!)
–Jonathan Caswell
