Cruisin & Losin (poem) by Richard Lee King on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on December 7, 2011

And you are still alive to talk about it. I thought it was a great answer to miss spoil-sport's obvious set up. Yet you've presented a challenge here for me that I can't resist and will work on. If it's any consolation we were in our deck spa many years back when I affectionately referred to Eileen as my "Little Buddha". I got religion rather quickly. Patrick

You sure were cruisin' for a bruisin'! I always suggest another garment rather than discuss any part of the anatomy. I've been on those cruises and they are a joy regardless of what you wear or how you look.

a dainty dish it ain't
when you run right out of paint
and the corner crowds you in,
and like you say, you just can't win!

A Dicklish delight.

Yep I think all us men have been in that situation before and I would guess 99 per cent of us answered wrong.

With women sometimes honesty doesn't pay!! I laughed out loud when I read this because it is oh, so accurate. A playful look at one of life's mysteries: women! Very well done, Dick. A classic.

Ahhhh, I remember very well that your HONEST answer cut right to the bone! :)

Your excellent ability to humorously tell the story in rhyme will surely earn you good-behavior-points.

Ain't dat da truff. Women and their vanity, men and our pride, do sometimes (often) clash. We seem to survive however and continue in until the next crisis question. Enjoyed this poem, Richard.

Ho, Ho, Ho! When I get those types of questions, I usually shout out that my hearing aid needs new batteries, or "Hold that question Sweetie, the dogs really have to go out!"
