Yeah, you know her... that one- the one you love to hate... she`s all over town, on every busy corner these days, isn`t she, her ubiquitous face smiling smug like a cat in the butter churn while it`s still cream. Look at her- thinks she`s "all that" and a bag of fritos. Time she learned a dusting of humility... But da**, she`s good at catching the eye; I just can`t seem to look away. . *sorry mods, i edited it ok  |

Some women are like that. Traffic stoppers. Exploiters. Why not? If you've got "it," exploit "it." Don't know about the Fritos though, maybe Cheetos. Haha!! . . . and the Raven said, %!~#&(&#!$! |

I loved this poem and cracked up at EBM too. I think "damn' is an okay word here. FYI, astericks don't get us outta hot water. Love the poem. A |

Fine writing this, Amaryllis. Poem and the replies, made me chuckle.  "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Entertaining... and here I thought you might've meant a series of billboards just crying out for moustaches. |

I think not only is the poem creative and genuine, but so are the responses! Good stuff, m'dear! |

Not a silly write at all. I feel strong emotional content behind the casual style. I think you're talking about jealousy, a very human feeling. Poetry that brings readers to the truth is good poetry. Bravo. |

Ya, she's everywhere. Like they say in advertizing, "Sex sells!" Whether it be a bag of Doritos, the latest fashions, or denture cream. Go figure. I thought your poem said a lot. Not silly at all.  "We'll chase them like rats across the tundra." |

Entertaining and thought-provoking.. that's really hard to do, at least for me, and you pulled it off flawlessly! |

*chuckling* I was thinking, "yeah--get her, get her--whoever is not in the room is "it"!" So of course I had to sign in...  *winks* Hugs, you. It's been a while. |
