Mr. Mr.

There was Mr. Know-it-all
Who loved me for
My beautiful breasts

There was Mr. No-Idea
Who loved me for
My sharp mind

There was Mr. Silent-Guy
Who loved me for
My agile tongue

There was Mr. Wordy
Who loved me
For my ability to listen

There was Mr. Have-it-all
Who loved me for
My neediness

There was Mr. Have-Nothing
Who loved me for
My abundance

There was Mr. Carpenter
Who loved me
For the house I did not have

There was Mr. Homeless
Who loved me
For the house I had

There was Mr. Hungry
Who loved me
For my cooking

There was Mr. Monk
Who loved me
For my starving myself

There never was
Mr. Real
Who would have loved me
For what I truly am
