Poems
One
Wish too Many
1
Everything
was just fine.
Perfectly, perfectly fine.
Family,
Friends,
Neighbors,
Strangers.
Cologne,
Chalkboard,
Cheeseburgers.
Content, happy, Certain, predictable.
But then…
You
just came crashing in.
Didn't even care to knock.
Touched my emotions,
Looked at my secrets,
Felt my dreams.
You opened all the windows without asking.
Funny enough-
I let you.
2
You
plucked me an amber gem
From a charcoal sky.
Showed me an emerald ocean And a cerulean meadow.
Slowly…
I grew stronger with your strength
Vivid with your valor
Daring with your dreams.
Prefectness didn't matter anymore.
And when I turned to let you know
You were gone…
Didn't even care to say Goodbye.
And
that is how you lost
What you could have ever asked for…

The
Husband Shop
A Husband Shopping Centre has just opened, where women can go &
choose a husband. The store is comprised of six floors, and the men
increase in positive attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.
There is, however, one catch: you may choose a man from any floor
that you are currently on, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go
back down again except to exit the building.
Anyway,
a woman goes to the shopping centre to find herself a husband. On
the first floor, the sign on the door reads:
Floor
One - These men have jobs. Thinking at least that's better than her
last boyfriend, she decides to see what is further up. The second
floor sign reads:
Floor
Two - These men have jobs & love kids. Deciding to continue further
up, she passes through the Third floor:
Third floor -These men have jobs, love kids & are extremely good
looking
Fourth
Floor, where the sign tells her: These men have jobs, love kids, are
extremely good looking and help with housework. On the fifth floor
she reads:
Floor
Five - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking,
help with housework and have a romantic streak.
Although
severely tempted, she can't help but think what must be for her further
on, and so she makes the final step to the sixth floor. Here she also
discovers a sign:
Floor Six - You are visitor 123,456,789,012,236 to this floor.
There
are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women
are impossible to please.
Thank
you for shopping at HusbandMart and have a nice day.
