Poems? We Don't Need No Stinkin' Poems!

I found this poem that I had written back in the days when I was a single man and it showed me how truly lame I was in those days. Just to take me off of that pedestal that you all have placed me on, I will share this poem so that I won't have the pressures of your expectations upon me anymore. This poem depicts my difficulties with dating.

I see her standing there,

but I do not know her name

I wonder if she sees me

and likes to play that game

Should I go and talk to her,

or should I stay right here

I think I just might do it

if I could over come my fear

I fear I'll get rejected,

It happens all the time

I should be getting used to it

I can never call them mine

They always think I'm weird

They always think I'm strange

They always think I'm Stupid

I think I better change

But wait, what is this

Is she looking over here

I know I must be dreaming

I wonder how I appear

Wow, look at that smile

It's only lips and teeth

But now the only difference is

It's smiling right at me

I say, "Hi, my name is Eric"

And the conversation has begun

Until she says, "My name is Jenny..."

...And your fly's undone."

I hope you now realize just how lucky I am to have a wife, let alone such an amazing wife. Finding this poem made me wonder if I could still write poems, so if you have any subjects that you would like to hear about in a poem, leave me a comment or an email at eric.atkinson@yahoo.com and I will see what kind of poem I can squeeze out for you.
