He had the looks, he had the charm and everything money can buy.

A lady friend of mine
Went out with this guy.
He had the looks, he had the charm
And everything money can buy.
So they were cruisin’
Along a road,
When into a motel
He suddenly drove.
Startled,
my friend yelled “Hey!”
“Relax,” he said,
“It’s a short cut. I know the way.”
Only when she got home
Did she fully realize
It was no short cut
She was almost victimized.
He was testing the waters,
You see,
Brazenly trying to check
If she was that easy.
I have only one word
To describe such a bozo.
It has an A, two S’s,
And the rest—you already know.

    well said, girls must be alert at all times for there are vultures seeking and waiting for a prey.

  • postpunkpixie on Feb 16, 2009

    Great, I love how it\’s basically everyday language manipulated into a poem

  • Alicia Wind on Feb 17, 2009

    Oh men—they thought that women will open their legs easily….geez geez…–unless a woman has a no string attach adventure of her life- that would be easy!

  • C LEBLANC on Feb 17, 2009

    right on! guy’s like that should be shot!

  • Majic on Feb 17, 2009

    Yup. They’re everywhere! Some sleazy guys don’t even need a car and they can get away with this sort of behaviour!
    You’re good on the first attempt! So I wonder how well it will be the next time around!

  • kimmy on Feb 25, 2009

    This poem is a true story. I know because I’m the author’s “lady friend”. Nice of him to warn others about creeps by publishing my experience with one, wouldn’t you agree?

  • Aldrin A Wilding West on Feb 26, 2009

    Good one. Your friend should be pleased you care about her enough to write this down.

  • Karen Gross on Mar 18, 2009

    Your friend’s guardian angel was watching out for her. It’s dangerous to get into a car with a guy you don’t know!
