Again, what can I do but create humor & laugh, laugh, laugh...

Half a Man...


 


Half a man I feel without my love,


In Colorado doing what she really loves,


Buying and selling horse’s with her uncle she is,


God I hope she returns soonest, I miss her so much…


 


She goes away often, her uncle does travel,


Our lives together, well they have been, of late, quite unraveled,


I miss her so much, but I also envy her as well, feels wrong, feels right,


Can’t get my feelings herein very straight,


Want her to be with me, but also want her to be happy, I just feel so sappy, right now,


What can I do, she is still away, and I am here feeling altogether blue…


 


Well at least I can write, I can show to the world how I do not feel quite right,


Maybe someone out there; can show me the right path,


Or at least tell me to go take a cold bath…


 


So, Rene’ when you read this, you will then be in the know, that half a man is how I feel,


When my other half is on the road with the horses, better them than a calf,


Rufuz misses his mommy too, but still has daddy to play with and bite,


The only person I get to bite is myself, not a very happy prospect, especially at night…
