Wow, I really liked this poem, it's awesome, the humor on it it's really good. The rhymes flowed together naturally. It is a really good poem. Good luck in the contest, this one of the best poems I read for this contest

Great poem, and very amusing.
There is a message in there too, but I thought it was very clever
and really enjoyed it.
Great writing, well done.

This speaks a funny and deplorable experience of passing moments in love and passing time with a stranger and tells about appreciation and understanding him but alas; I liked.

I'm with you mystery poet. Truth and being straight up would have probably saved a lot of time and been much more mutually satisfying. Good luck in contest. xoxo Kiwi

Dear Mystery Writer,

hahahahaha! Am I to understand you to say that if people were only to speak more plainly to each other we might have world peace and less hostility and even less terrorism?? AND even more one night stands, possibly? hahahahaha! That's definitely a new one. Good luck in the contest. This is unique. hahaha!

    Thank you taking the time to comment and review. This scene I described is new to me and I really had to put my imagination into gear. I enjoyed doing this one. Hopefully, readers will understand that differences can be good if one takes the time to understand others....not judge or hate.

Wow. Poor little geek. He didn't know how to pick up a girl, but he probably did better than over half the other Romeos in the room.

Well phrased and a nice surprise at the end,

~patty~

Very funny. I like the ending.

I sure as hell wasn't having none.

You have a double negative in this line. It might be better to write "I sure as hell was having none."

    I realize that but the character knew nothing about double negatives. Thank for for reading and I hope you chuckled.

There is one TV ad repeated ad nauseam these days that says, "Wouldn't it be nice if we all said what we were thinking . . ." The Speaker, nicely characterized as someone just "looking for cheer" meets a guy whose line is queer. Amusing and well-composed, following the required parameters of the prompt.
