My body’s ugly, she says, <br />Silently demanding approval <br />A wrinkle here, a wrinkle there <br />A stomach far beyond compare, <br />Why can't I make her see, <br />Just how much she means to me... <br /> <br />Her smiling face, her winning ways, <br />The care she takes of me each day <br />The meals she cooks, the way she looks, <br />Why can't I make her see, <br />just how much she means to me… <br /> <br />'' My Body’s perfect'', she says, <br />Not requiring any approval... <br />Tanned and toned, a lovely sight <br />That hour-glass shape that’s deemed just right <br />No beer-gut or wrinkles here <br />All My skin is taut and clear, <br />Why can’t I make her see, <br />just how mean she is to me... <br /> <br />I still love her, <br />Does she love me? <br />Of course she does, <br />Don't you agree <br />it's very, very plain to see <br />But then again, it comes to me, <br />Why can’t I make her see, <br />just how mean she is to me… <br />- <br />Colin J...5th Jan 2009 <br />- <br />Note: A small play on words and perception. <br /> <br />- <br /> <br /> *A Reminder About Copyright * © <br /> <br />If you want to use a poem from this site please make your request to: <A HREF='mailto: chippy49uk@yahoo.co.uk'>Contact Me by Right Clicking and Copy Email Address</A> <br /> <br />I will almost certainly say yes but this does me the courtesy of a request, and keeps the potential user from infringement of my copyright which is absolutely retained. <br />Thank you.
