ok, I've had this crab bait jingle in my head for a couple months, it has nothing to do with my personal life!  I hope it's odd and funny and enjoyable enough to meet the challenge! ~K~


Love can sometimes just go out of style
Losing flame to familiarity
I thought he still called me his true soul mate
Then I listened, he’s been callin’ me Ol’ Crab Bait!

Maybe I’ve grown too complacent and comfy
I gave my everything over the years
But he chose me first, and I was his soul mate
So how long has he been calling me Ol’ Gross Weight?

I recently heard him telling old man stories
And yukkin’ it up with the guys
That’s when I learned that his lifelong soul mate
Had been renamed Just Another Ol’ Blind Date.

So now he has his second love
A newer match lighting the flame
Maybe he should mark their beginning
By naming her Fresh Crab Bait...

And maybe she won't see the cage....

Happy to hear it has nothing to do with your personal life!

Your sense of humor shines through in this one!

Funny, but sad, too. Because too often men are foolish enough to act that way...

Yes, El C, I did have enough personal experience for inspiration.  ;-)  ~K~
