If I were someone else's man I'd always dress impeccably No faded shirts or mis-matched socks Or uncombed hair for her to see. My fingernails would be clean And shoes would sport a gleaming shine Befitting such a Dapper Dan If I were someone else's man. If I were someone else's man I'd jump to do each household task I'd cut the grass, take out the trash Before she'd have a chance to ask. I'd never snore or belch in public Causing her embarrassment As crude, unruly actions can If I were someone else's man. If I were someone else's man My libido would be robust. Instead of lackadaisical I'd be a creature filled with lust! My passion would be limitless And never would I turn away... All this and more would be my plan If I were someone else's man. I took the road less traveled..now where the hell AM I??? |

There's an overwhelming sense of futility here, m'Deer... Too bad we sometimes can't appreciate what we already have, rather than looking for greener stuff.. Nicely written, as usual.. |

Balladeer~ If you were someone else's man I'm sure it wouldn't take long For the same old traits, you pontificate To surface and make you wrong If you were someone else's man The complaints would probably be the same Though they might have a different voice But they'd never really change For a tiger doesn't change his stripes God knows yours are well in place If you were someone else's man You'd still wear the same handsome face And she would love you anyway Well, except on trash pick-up day ! *It's so gosh-darned good to see you~  *Hug* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Enjoyed this...I'm sure any woman would want you no matter what..that 'other man' sounds perfect, but most of us don't want perfection. We want REAL. It's nice to see you back.  |

What a great read here. I'm sorry, I found it humorous (although I did see the truth behind it). Is it just me? Maybe it's just the mood I'm in. I've been out drinking beer If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

If you were someone else's man I'd cry myself to sleep My dreams would be so shattered that I couldn't help but weep If you were someone else's man then all alone I'd be I'd think about you all the time Yep, that's a guarantee but.... If you were this lady's man I'd love you as you are I'd look beyond the clothes you wear You'd be my shining star I'd gladly comb your hair for you And manicure your nails I'd shine your shoes and darn your socks While listening to your tales If you were this lady's man You'd have no household chores I'd mow the lawn and dump the trash While you watched football scores And there's no way you'd ever be Embarrassing to me I'd be so proud to be with you There'd be no stopping me If you were this lady's man My life would be complete Your passion would be limitless 'Cause I'd be such a treat So, come with me and be my man I'll take good care of you Just get yourself to Phoenix Bid the other girls adieu!

If you were "someone elses man" we might not have your poetry to enjoy. Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

I may not have the pretty words To say just what I feel So listen up you ole dog Im willing to make a deal I'll cook you all the Spam you want But you gotta take out the trash And mow the grass every now and again Or I'll just feed you hash As far as your libido goes Theres no problem there Im sure you'd be up to stuff With my fingers in your hair So get down off that soapbox Grab your jeans and get to work And I'll go bake you an apple pie... ...see I come with perks... |

Oh, I've been waiting to see your name posted here Michael ... you never disappoint me. What a wonderful treat in cadence and rhyme. A lovely verse of anticipated want and desire, tinged with a slight sorrow between the lines, very much enjoyed! Now having said that, sweet Balladeer ... *~* I had an urge to change my name, Officially, I now proclaim, The other name I call myself … Is first name "Someone", last name "Else". Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

Ha Ha, I am chuckling all the way through this. It is true that we let certain things go when with someone a long time. So is this an open offer, or what? Can I apply?? Sandra |

'Deer Let's explore for a moment, if we can The possibilities of being someone else's man. The wannabe list is long, it's true, I'm sure we'll find someone just for you. My friend, The Rock, would like a date, He hasn't power slammed of late. Perhaps you could be his boy-in-tow, Before he tied your legs in a bow. A match in heaven, Toerag and 'Deer The way you two carry on in here. I'm sure everyone agrees with this, We'd love to see you makeup and kiss. In reality, you've already found your love, Your faithful one who you're fond of. We've not a single doubt it's true. Who is your love? Why, it's you! Hey there, you reprobate! I love ya, too! I also love the great responses from everybody else. Especially those poetic ones. What a welcome sight to see a poem by you when I came in here. |

Balladeer, A delightful little ditty and you are so witty. And Randy blew a puff of smoke and said to me it's a joke? Glad to see you swinging something besides a golf club. Enjoyed |

Well...I think you are your own man! And if the garbage piles up, and the grass grows above your head, and if....you know the thing about (In Bed) doesn't rise and shine in poetic rhyme...It could be the smell of garbage. And nothing else I'm sure! But you write with great lift as far as I'm concerned!Sincerely, Regina |

Old Lng Jhn ain't gonna like this. What with you having all these women folk fawning all around you. Nope, he ain't gonna like it one bit.( now having said that, if he'd write purty romantic stuff like you,stead of writing bout that pickup truck, maybe he'd get a fawn or two.) If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? [This message has been edited by Tracey (edited 09-06-2001).] |

If you were someone else's man Would you be the same ole "deer" Would there even be a "Passions" If you never post your gems here. If there is something personal Hidden in the lines you've penned I'd like to know who's responsible And I'd sick Sy and Randy on them then. I see sorrow in this piece Even though it's filled w/ laughter & cheer Let the women of Passions help you at least B/C Passions wouldn't be the same without "U" Mr. Deer. From what I can tell, you're already the man of about twenty other women. Your dance ticket is full. Garfield |

Paula..girl, you drive a real hard deal but I like the way those fingers feel. Trash is out and grass is mown... Now get in here and make me moan! Kit...Someone Else or not, you are always someTHING else! You don't need to change a thing, dear gal Sunshine..that could be a good thing!! Thank you, m'lady catalinamoon...can you apply? The way you look in a bathing suit?? I would toss out all other applications!! Charisma...and I always get a warm glow with any response from you LongJohn....thanks for placing me between a Rock and a hard face! Great to see you around, my friend...hasn't been the same without your sharp wit. Don't run off now, ya hear? My Enchanted_Melody..Gee, you know me pretty well...yes, I would come back for sure! Thanks for such a wonderful response Sy...man cannot live by bogey alone My regards to Randy Corinne...consider no thang changed....especially my admiration for you! rwood....what a wonderful supporter you are! I would rise and shine for you any day! coco..putting a smile on your face is a huge compliment...I thank you! tracey..instrument has not yet been invented which could measure my indifference to what LongJohn likes or doesn't like. He's not good at fawndling, anyway Garfield...my man, your perception is piercing. Passions will always be here...so will I. My dance card may be full but the band is taking a break |

First a hot shower you stinky thing Then we'll make these fingers sing They'll tease and torment into the night And make you feel ooooohhhhh so right Not to mention apple pie that melts in your mouth and makes you sigh So if you want these fingers walking You better start doing more than talking Pucker up and gimme a kiss And "someone else" you'll never miss |

Wistful wish makes woeful want And all the anguish wrought May not be greener meadows Nor the joyful dream you thought Don’t through away what good you have Nor want what you have not For you’ll be looking back and yearn For what you now have got But even so, you make the worst Into a charming little verse Love ya Liz |

Oh dear, oh dear sweet Balladeer If you were someone elses man and allways dressed impeccably wearing matching socks and so no dirt on your fingernails to see jumping to each household task not causing any embarrassment I'm sure that one day you will ask where the hell 'old' Balladeer went and then there is no fun you see in always dressing impeccably no fun at all in limitless passions no fun in belchless public sessions you'll be longing for that 'old' time when you wrote this smashing rhyme Titia A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
