Frat boy, <br />bratboy, <br />innuendo chat-boy, <br />why do girlies fall for you? <br />You’re really too good to be true – <br />and it’s true - you’re just not you – <br /> <br />your humdrum face <br />lacks manly grace; <br />your ‘slender figure’ <br />'s much much bigger; <br /> <br />your cheatin’ heart <br />has played its part <br />so what d’you do? you go to <br />some mag, and steal a photo, <br /> <br />and say you want a ‘long-term’ <br />-but boy, is that the wrong term— <br /> <br />for p’raps the joke’s on you – <br />she’s doin’ the same thing too! <br /> <br />* <br /> <br />but back you go – <br />you never know, <br />out there’s a she <br />for whom you’re He, <br />the one you’ll give your life for – <br />(the one you’d leave your wife for..) <br /> <br /> * <br />oh you and I are cynics – <br />but we’ve tried all these gimmicks; <br />once bitten, and twice shy <br />they say – but one more try – <br />we love these crazy antic <br />s – they’re just so darn romantic!<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/0009-cole-porter-hits-the-chatsites/
