Several blondes has he known,
One wanted him for her own…
But on April 10th
She threw in the wrench,
His chances with her were blown!
–
Another, younger, went red,
Hair colored for the summer she said…
Enticing. though
She too had to go,
Infatuated til dead.
–
The current blonde more his age,
Friends they’ll be at this stage…
Her skirts short
Tempts him to court,
But his wife would lock him back in a cage!**

BLUE BUTTON-DOWN BLOUSE–A MEMORY
–
A friend from college she was,
Remembered for two things because…
She wouldn’t cooperate
With a Palestinian irrate
Who would make her his wife A-plus!
–
This blonde, wore a silky blue blouse
I tried to take a picture in the house…
Flash destroyed the affect
Of silkiness–it was wrecked–
But to her I’ll never grouse.
–
I think the Lord had His say,
She never looked lovingly in MY way…
I was just a friend–
That blouse on her was grand–
I’ll have a memory and a picture…if it wasn’t thrown away!
