Trying my hand at poetry.

Again? and
Again? and
Yet again?
You flatter me
With your stiff
wanting, your
hard
rock hard
gift.
Again?
Yes, oh yes again.
yet again?
Um...? ok again.
When you leave me
Only thoughts
of you are in my
mind and heart
Ok not true.
I also think
with all
seriousness...
Can I?
How would I?
Can it be done.....
?
Can I count your
vigorous
lovely gift(s)......
as points of
activity
on Weight Watchers?
I crack myself up. I have never study poetry so I'm sure this is the wrong on so many technical levels. But, David gave me an idea, and I ran with it.
