A poem of sweet memories when it seemed the world had ended yet I learned how to live again. I would not have missed them. www.gopetsonline.com own pic copywrite
When I Was Forty Two by M.A.Meddings entry to Katherines remember the best times challenge
When I was Forty Two
And single again
I really cant remember when
I found life so enjoyable
Unbelievably shy
With a glint in my eye
I had to learn courting
Once more
This guy found an open door
When I was forty two
I didnt really know
What to do or ask her to dance
never took the chance
Until it was too late
No garden gate kids romance
This time around
Just inane smiles across A bar
Didnt get me far.
When I was forty two
Never tried to bed an ugly woman
But when I woke up
Sure found me a few
But then remembered
my fathers words
They were never too absurd
Son when choosing Diamonds and women
Choose them in daylight
When I was forty two
A dame came to my rescue
She had big brown eyes
A wet nose and powerful thighs
Her name was beauty
Hows that sound
No not a dolly bird
A bloody Basset hound
My dog but could she pull the chics
When I was forty two
I gradually learned what to do
let the dog go first
The effect was amazing
Instead of just gazing longingly
Drinking up liquid courage
Beauty could pull them to me
'Oh what a beautiful dog they would say'
Such beautiful eyes
So have you my stupid reply
When I was forty two
With no idea what to do
Initially how to romance again
I really couldnt remember when
I had been so lonely
But the dog saved the day
In her own sort of way
By being my friend
We survived in the end
Those enchanted years
