Romantic Ballad: Poem

 

Romantic Ballad

I.

She gets the best seat at the table.

She gets her favorite music

For comfortable rides

With respect to the passenger’s rights.

A man that can open a jar

Always could see very near and far.

A man that can open a bra

With a little patience,

And I supposed some practice

Goes a long way.

II.

He promised to feel safe, spoiled

And appreciated

In return for good company.

There are more like flirting

For the same penny,

And a maybe little kissing

At the red light

Without any fight.

III.

The word salad

Turned into romantic ballad.

I think that my Beau

Knows a thing, or two.

Is it a romantic ballad,

Or two old farts

Exchanged the rhetoric arts.
