The hardest thing for me to learn was
How to control that crazy buzz
It just grew and grew
Who knew?
Some said it had this glitzy golden shine
Worthy of an investment dime
Personality, photogenic hard to decline
Deeming newsworthy at the time
But what were those images having the credible modeling walk
Getting everyone to chitter chattering and talk
Diplomatic sources
Still studying high school courses
Or living breathing pawns
Honored a couple times on the political lawn
Perfectly placed on a magazine cover
Marketed as a fantasy lover
Were they ammunition in a peaceful war?
Sending a message while checking out at the grocery store
A final pick up enroute to the sliding exit door.
Thinking the public wants more
Is there a lesson here?
From the purchase protecting my dry goods from the beer
Do I have a relationship with this picture that is still?
Costing a couple bucks on my routine weekly errand bill
Let us take a serious look
Realizing I have everything I need to cook
About the picture that was the purchasing hook
It was an impulse buy
When settled in my driver’s seat I ask myself why
Until she came from the beauty salon
Goals were to be a loving Mom
A person who put me on her VIP list
Finding mutual enjoyment when we kissed
When she opened the passenger’s side
Ready to go home with me her guy
And once locked into this accepted domestic scene
I heard her scream
“You got me my magazine!!”
And that is when I learned a certain lesson
That is worthy for constant profession
Getting a good tip
Hinting for a long-lasting partnership
Working together writing the journey script
Finding realities and having a grip
In a life
Where a family and wife
Are priorities along with owning the property deeds
And tending to each other needs
That only breeds
Communication trust
No need for the luring lust
Let her enjoy all the gossipy tips
Feeling great there is someone in her life with honest lips
Who will always be there
Planning each and every wedding anniversary affair
Returning to the one with electrical flowing hair
Featuring a pictorial stare
Let her down with grace
After taking her from the sales place
Realizing you have enough sugar and spice
From the hometown girl who was nice
Especially hearing ‘I do’ when rolling the matrimony dice
