Tally Ho!

by michaelcahill



A man of my worth
                incalculable incredible worth
STUCK!
                                                with her
 
she is old now, you know. not the spring chicken she once was
 
While I remain so much everything I ever was
                so
I LEAVE!
HAHAHA! 
                                fend for yourself woman, I have a life to lead
                                the world awaits my magnificence
                                I can feel them trembling with anticipation awaiting
                                MY ENTRY BACK INTO THE FRAY! TALLY HO!
 
                                                hey…           over here………………                 tally ho…..
damn…     what have I done?
where will I go?
no one will have me…                         am I old?
                                unwanted?
 
but she wanted me…
I'll die out here…                   how to get her back?
there must be a way
 
TALLY HO! Your lover returns! Lucky you.
I've returned to claim my queen.
The KING HUNGERS!

Inspired by a good friend. Stupid men leave wonderful women thinking their old grey carcass has anything the world would be interested in. Then they come crawling back like it is some great gift.

Check out "The Letter" by TBacha58 for the more serious side of this issue. A powerful piece. mikey
