My wife passed away over 35 years ago and I was single for a long time. During most of those years, I wasn’t really looking to get attached to anyone, but sometimes I’d get to thinking that this gal or that gal, just might be the one. This is a poem I wrote years ago about just such an occasion.
ON THE PROWL
©By: R.L.King From the book Memories & Time ©2017
He’s a master of the cue stick, loves the game of pool,
but sometimes he’ll drink too much and occasionally act a fool.
First, he’s hot, then he’s cold or somewhere in between.
Can’t miss a shot, can’t make a shot, if ya know what I mean.
She walks in, the lights are low, he’s been there, in his dreams.
She turns him on, then turns him down, then she leaves the scene.
Dead-end streets & U-turns, his love life to a tee,
on his one-way path to Hell, where all his friends will be.
