 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


When I first met my later to be blushing bride
I  learned I inherited a best friend---???
A buddy rival her younger brother!
Pretty young lady her brother quite evil
Now to impress women I heard buy them flowers
"The way to empress Sis is to buy Mom flowers"
Open the door her Mother is alergic to flowers
Take them to dinner she never had Mexican food
Expensive restaurant not into new tastes
Not a good start all she would eat was the salad
Leftovers went home to the rugrat brother
To redeam myself I spent my allowance on theater tickets
All the fifties groups in person front row seats I had empty pockets
But I was redeamed--she won tickets on the radio contest
We took my tickets for refund and hers in her purse
In comes the clown a joker hides them to be given at last minute
Minute is about the size of his brain he forgets
No worries we have reserved seats call home
All would have been well but someone is sitting in our prized seats
They don't have tickets but they were there first
I con them into giving up my front row seats now sold
For any seat I can get by trade at home we had seat numbers
Standing room only I am in the back of those standing
My first date cute one of the ushers found her a seat up close
My first date real expensive date everyone is hitting on her
I am not seeing behind this girl with a huge Afro haircut
How do you beat up your girlfriends younger brother?
We become best friends play basketball and constantly getting even
My best was in Nashville at a concert him dressed Western hat
I hired two girls to run at him screaming for an autograph
Soon dumbfounded he is surrounded by autograph seekers
OK, we are in the bull cage I see the bull charging after our apples.
I hand her brother the ladder leave the apple bucket and jump over the fence
HIs best: We are ridding Honda fifties and I say, "Ted not the stream?"
He stalls in middle I get off to help him and he is on my bike
Smiling in glea at home eating lunch--"Where's Dandy?"
Name plate turned upside down--all the tricks
I have to push the dead Honda a mile home in sand
Today the boy is now a man but still pushing the envelope
He knows he can turn the sister on finding something not done right
Read prior posting to see why I am laughing
And I am still laughing because the automatic sprinkler went off
