One That Gets Them All

Back in the bad old days when much younger,
I learned that strategy is a two edge sword;.
My girl friend and I had a big falling out,
one that stumped me as to how to mend things.
After hearing Frank Sinatra sing some love songs,
quickly I sent to her his, Nice and Easy album,
thinking that after hearing Frankie's heart songs
with titles such as That Old Feeling, and a lush,
You Go To My Head, reinforced with that sweet
version of, Try A Little Tenderness, along with
The Nearness of You, and one that gets them all,
My One and Only Love, that she would call me.
And, she did call me, a few hours later, saying that
she was in love all over, again, with Frank Sinatra!


F William Broome 2008

Young love is fun and not to be taken very seriously . maturity comes when we take the paths togedther or apart...we learn in our own ways at our own paces.
Blessings and love,
Susan

The piece is great, my friend, but the music is way before my time.. I wonder who I'd replace Sinatra with..

lol

Old Blue Eyes crooning has captured many a female's heart. If you had written her one of your wonderful poems - she would not have fallen for Frank. Bummer!

God bless you. Kathy
