Eve looked up and saw Howard running in slow motion waving his hands wildly what's he saying ..............??? howard : nooooo ............... Drago : if he cries, he cries as Drago kissed Eve's lips Howard knew that his eyes would never be the same again how could he believe her claims that this guy was just her friend [6 months later] after running through the snow for three weeks in a row it wasn't so bad now hector : move it buddy, you're not the only guy on a mission to see his sweetie glad the bodygaurds .... sometimes they made Howard so mad but the Russian Consulate insisted they accompany his training days right now he was too sad to pay attention to them anyway his mind was too occupied with thought of regaining a way to Eve's heart [meanwhile back in the states] eve : how's Howard doing? duke : not too good he says Drago is having too much fun in your neighborhood why don't you fly up here and open up his friendly sails let him know you and Drago were just shooting a commercial don't let this misunderstanding ruin the "Rocky" tale you guys were meant to live out all he needs is a little rehersal eve : well, i have my doubts but, you're right i'll think about it that night .... howard : did you speak to her today duke nods howard : what did she say? duke : the same thing you're saying that you're not weighing up the evidence it's so evident you guys love each other you've been her president since the beginning no other guy squeezes her Pepsodent the way you do (frustrated) howard : tell Drago that why does he get to be her friendly resident while i'm feeling blue duke : hesitant to answer then ... Howard, do you really want to be her pleasent mint refreshing her breath with Spearmint howard : of course duke : then you've got to go to the source her magazine is ready to be opened but managing her golf course won't be easy the golf clubs you used in the past were a little too greasy to give her a firm grip on the words you were putting out of your lips [here, these should work a little better] but don't tease me if you're not ready to give it your all then you might as well go back to Philadelphia and teach study hall are you with me howard : i'm with you!!!!!! duke : i said, are you with me howard : i'm with you!!!!!!!! [2 weeks later] ladies and gentleman ..... standing in this corner at 6'6" weighing in at 190lbs looking to astound Eve's ... [a shout from the audience] what about the pitcher already standing on her mound??!! at that moment, Howard realized he should've arrive with more complimentary nouns no use crying about it now he'd just have to make "dew" with the pronouns currently at his disposal and hopefully one romantic morning Eve will listen to his proposal but it was obvious by the fifth round that only rose petals full of tender advances could improve his slender chances and with no flower shop open each jealous blow left his hopes sloping ..... audience member #1: how is this guy coping #2 : i don't know why isn't he moping and why is he still scoping for a solution even after his soulmate told him that not even eloping could start their evolution into friendship [#1 shrugs] didn't someone say he was charged with doping who do we believe? [meanwhile back in Howard's corner] duke : Howard, if Eve were here she couldn't be prouder howard : if you say so ..... and just before his vision was about to get even cloudier audience : howard ........... howard ........... a very low murmer in the audience was steadily getting louder howard knew he was wrong for upsetting eve by overcrowding her .... audience : howard .... howard ........... howard .......... the audience seemed to be getting rowdier if only he and his pretty flower still had time to roll up their sleeves and rake up the leaves that mistrustful hearts can weave they might ........ eve : way to go Howard!!!!!! howard : huh??!! was that Eve? didn't she say she had other plans for New Years Eve was this her reprieve? what about Steve? oh, there he is .... why the expression? does he grieve? another story perhaps? right now he still had to win this woman with no categories or at least a small measure of her respect else he would forever be received as her pet peeve but somewhere during the 14th or 15th round after the stadium let loose another joyous sound his favorite treasure chest finally started to understand why this guy who continually selects her crown elects to love her eve & howard |

Although I'm usually not a big fan of this style of poetry, yours really caught my eye, with all its' delightful idiosyncrasies. A fun read. |
