What is this you want to know
If I ever heard of an afterglow
I knew better than to say NO
She says she wants IT tonight
And I had better get it right
Anything to keep from having a fight

First on my list was the hardware store
Balladeer is always sitting outside the door
Asking him if he ever heard of an afterglow
He scratched his chin and said real slow
I’m not positive but I heard there is a light
Installed in the yard that puts out a glow come night

Proud of myself I stop off at the pub carrying my bag
There on the barstool sat my old pal Toerag
When he ask me what I had bought
I told him about the new knowledge I had sought
And how my friend Balladeer had set me straight
Laughing so hard he fell from his stool landing on a crate

I’m sorry friend but a light has nothing to do with afterglow
Balladeer is playing a game or he really doesn’t know
It’s all about knowing how to make love just right
Next time you see Balladeer tell him to go fly a kite
I’ll tell you how it’s done if you buy me a brew
Then you’ll know all I’ve learned when I am through

He told me that women don’t like you to go slow
Hurry up and get it over is their motto
Afterglow comes from within because when I’m through
They turn red and can’t speak believe me its true
Armed with my new knowledge I rushed to my house
I wanted to show I know about afterglow to my spouse

I did all that Toerag had said
Her mouth flew open her face turned red
As she threw me out of our bed
Balladeer was right about the light
It puts out a real nice glow
While I sleep on the patio

ROFL!!!! This is great!!! That Toerag always did pride himself on giving a woman the best ten seconds of her life! Nah, I was just kidding about the light, Suzanne. I know what afterglow is. I read a book by it every night after....well, you know

juliet_2u: I did read your poem and it was great.
Poet DV: Thank you for reading
Suzanne: Yes when men talk to each other they get it all wrong. But at least they try.
Balladeer: Maybe we should change Toerags name to 10secToe.
Mr Yates: I'm so glad I could entertain you.

On behalf of my husband I have to admit this is nothing like him. He told me to tell this.

Hope you don't live in the north country because that sleeping on the patio thing would really douse any afterglow this time of year.....this poem is a result of too much information unclarified....but it sure was fun to read...ethome
