Give Up, Girls!

(From my Archives)

I said to him, When I see you
I begin to drool
With passion he responded
Shut up, You fool!

I said, To be in your arms
is my heartiest wish
He looked me in the eye
deeply, and said, Rubbish!

Then I tried a different
line of approach, a trap
Spoke of souls and mates
and he said, What crap!

I fussed and I fumed
trying to draw his attention
but still on his radar
not even a blip, no mention!

What was a woman to do!
So I gave up and let it be.
The very next day he called
and said, Baby, let's have coffee!
