Wonder

often I wonder

if perhaps it twas

a man

who said

Damn!

that woman’s way too

        Bam!

               much too

                       Hot!

a little too

        Lot!

               a smidge too

                       close

to hittin

        All

               My

                       Spots!

Sometimes I think

        that maybe this man

               gathered up his co-man

                       friends and declared

this ludicrous plan

        to rein her in

               and make her real thin

so they could know

        they really didn’t blow

In comparison

        that is . . .

And then I wonder

        what this group of

               men would think

If I crossed the lines of time

        to tell them the story

               of where their plan has led

Would they laugh

        or would they cry?

Would they believe

        or would they yell

               It’s a lie!

Would they suck it up

        and live with a gift

               that was so much more

                       than they ever deserved

        but exactly what they had in store
