You know the time will come
you'll wish for me and I'll be gone
You'll wish for the woman
who would bring you chicken noodle soup
You'll wish for the woman
who would scramble your eggs
You'll wish for the woman
who would laugh at your jokes
You'll wish for the woman
who would gasp when you kiss the back of her neck
You'll wish, but she'll be gone.

Damn straight! (I'm interpreting this as a "I'm not taking you back, douchebag" type post, btw.)

ReplyDeleteHi Janie ... yes they will .. but for the careless she will be gone ... Chicken soup is so so good .. cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI like it! A great one for women to have in their pocket.
ReplyDeleteVery thoughtful!!
ReplyDeleteVery good. I have a friend who needs to kick a can on down the road. Oh, wait, a man. I may quote freely.
ReplyDeleteA man should appreciate a good woman!
ReplyDeleteA very good poem and so true!
ReplyDeleteYeah, baby, yeah. And you know, the nape of the neck is a very underrated erogenous zone.
ReplyDelete"If I had known," that's what the person. "Shoulda, woulda, coulda..."
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of that old saying: If wishes were horses beggars would ride. Quite the pensive post.
ReplyDeleteSo powerful and sad, and true. Damnit, I wish for that woman. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteYou'll wish for the woman
ReplyDeleteWho would sing in your answering machine
Hey, she is still around! Score.
Sometimes we don't know what we have until we have lost it! 'Tis a pity! Hugs, Nellie
ReplyDeleteUh, OH. :(
ReplyDeleteI WISH a woman would gasp when I kiss the back of her neck! So far they've all jumped and shouted "Who are you??"
ReplyDeleteSerious enough and true.
ReplyDeletePowerfully written.
ReplyDeleteWow! Where did that come from? You should go there more often.
ReplyDeleteNice poem, Janie.
ReplyDeleteI want some back-of-neck kissing. Stat.
