~~~*** ~~~

I'll not forget
That tasteless night,
Seven months ago,
When I went out
With Macho Mike
Who had some oats to sow.
He wined me and he dined me,
Then he pushed me on my back,
I swiftly slapped
His face quite red
For I'd have none of that!
He lashed right back
With teeth clenched tight
And said I was a prude,
I asked him what could he expect
Since he was rude and crude!
He laughed and said,
I'd missed my chance,
To have a real man,
I laughed right back
And shoved him hard,
And he landed on his can!
I headed for the nearest house,
And asked to use the phone,
My father said to stay right there,
He'd come and take me home.
I now am more selective,
Of my suitors after work,
For never will I date again,
Another macho jerk!

Good for you! I'm sorry that the incident happened. It's scarey out there in the dating world today. And I am so glad that you are okay.

Yay!!! Go Super Linda and Super Dad! (giggles in delight) I felt both sad and happy reading this, sad that you have been treated like this and deserve much more respect but happy you had the nerve to say no and escape, yay! (kiss on cheek) This is delightful, sweet friend, i hope now you have found the perfect someone who treats you with sincere and heartfelt love, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

WhiteRose ~

It truly was an awful experience. I have to admit, I never would have expected him to have behaved in that manner. He was a very well-educated and successful man, but his guise as a gentleman went out the window once we were alone! I have since learned how to disable a man who ever tried those shenanigans on me again---well, at least on the first date! tehe

A macho man's not what you need,
But a kind and gentle lad,
Someone who's nice and very sweet,
Like loving-shy Toerag.

I'd never "push" you into bed,
Roughly on your back,
But I'd wine and dine "on" you
So what's wrong with that?

Rude and crude is not my way,
I'm a Southern Gentleman,
That's not the way to treat a gal,
You have to have a perfect plan

Good for you! I don't know where these guys think they can just push us women around and take advantage of us the way they do. I am so sorry this happened to you. You take care, my friend.

I think we've all had those rude-awakenings at some point in time.... you wonder how you went out with Dr. Jekyll and came home with Mr. Hyde. *G*

Now if only every man was like Toe... but then, that would be heaven? *G*

Would you believe it! Just as soon as I finished posting this poem, an old boyfriend of mine phoned me and guess what his name is!!!----Mike!

Thanx for your support! We girls have got to stick together!

Mr. T. ~

Well thank you kind sir! Now you are a true gentleman and I am certain that you would treat a lady with respect and decorum and not as a decoration to show off and possess!

Isabelle is a lucky woman!

~~~  ***  ~~~

Oh, Mister Toe man,
You thrill me with your lines,
But once the dining's over,
Will you ply me with your wines?
Will you shed your sheep's clothing
And show what's under there
And make me tremble at the sight
Of your long shaggy hair
Will your teeth grow long and pointed
Will your eyes be glowing red
Will you force your will upon me
And push me on your bed
You say you are a gentle man
But how can I be sure
That you will treat me lovingly
And make this angel purr

What a real creep!  Way to go!!

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

Poor Linda...I hate this happened to you. Just let all of us around here at him and we'll take care of that big bully....but sweet Linda, it sounds like you did a very good job of that yourself. Oh, I like your reply to Mr. Toe. He's a card, isn't he? I'm sorry that you had this bad experience, but thanks for sharing it with us, anyway.

If I ever I get into a situation like that again--which I doubt because my man radar has been working very well!---I'll let you know! You strike me as a defender of the good and a vanquisher of the bad!

Linda,
You go girl. What a low life. Besides being wrong about most everything...he was wrong about you missing your chance. You put him in his place. Thankfully he wasn't criminal in his intent. Here is to your faith, hope and peace.

P.S. That's what dads are for.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

It certainly can be a jungle out there! I can understand your concern for your daughters. Remind them that there's safety in numbers!

Thank you for your comments!
