A Lesson in Love
Once in love with love for the sake of love
Loving a cute boy I chose to date
Highly eager for him to drive up to my door
So blasted excited I couldn’t wait.
So much in love was I with him
I knew he’d sense it and love me in turn
Boy, was I in for a mighty shock, I was
When I learned he didn’t give a durn.
Parked in his 55 Chevy at the drive-in show
He enticed me to sit in the wide back seat
That’s when I knew he didn’t love me
He just wanted a one-night treat.
I’d teach him a lesson I vowed to myself
I’d let him know I wasn’t that kind of girl
I’d teach him not to take me for granted
After I unleashed my wrath to unfurl.
I kissed and teased him mercilessly
Got his hormones in a raging uproar
Got him almost in fireworks mode
Then I hit him with a bit of old folk lore.
You say you love me, but you don’t, my friend,
You just want to smooch, pet, and scr--;
Well you can go to hell, oh boy
And I’ll just ride home with my Aunt Sue.
Angered, he shoved me down flat on my back
Started jerking up my pleated skirt
I kicked the hormonal hell out of him
Scratching and biting and ripping off his shirt.
When I brought my bony knee up
And caught him in the straddle
He groaned like a man nearly dead
Or like a cowboy falling from his saddle
I pushed the car door open and dove outside
Got on my feet real fast to run
Started toward Aunt Sue’s old rusty car
Glad to be gone from that son of a gun.
Now, I learned a lesson about love
It has got to be in your head and heart
When you start kissing and getting hot
That ain’t love you’re feeling in that bottom part.

And as for young men and love? They couldn't care less. If she wants to hear words of love, then that's what he'll whisper. "Life's a swap meet, and I've got plenty to trade" is the modus operandi.
In your "A Lesson in Love," Jeanette, you admit the young paramour drove a '55 Chevy. So, I don't see the problem. With wheels like that, it's bound to be true love. Are you sure your heroine gave him a fair chance? I mean, he loves his bottom; why wouldn't she?
But maybe he was really after Aunt Sue all along!
See how men think?

Bravo a wonderful and sound penning most especially these young one's can take heed. Think with their heads vice there pants I'd say. Glad you ran away from that situation and practiced what had been preached.
Blessings to you and thank you for sharing,
