Topic: Straight Forward Blunt

Thanks for the inspiration Yankeebee.

I thought that there was only one rhyme I couldn't use for this. Then I thought - when would you ever use that rhyme ? Then it came to me - but as you can see, I still didn't use it !

"Straight Forward Blunt

She was a fine kid, all laughter and play,
Mind like a gimlet, I loved her that way.
She would sparkle and giggle, dance and sway
And she was mine alone till that fateful day

Chorus
But for all of my fine words and whispering wiles
You stole her away and rushed down the aisle
It's the last time I'll leave it all up to front
Next time I'm gonna be straight forward blunt.

I introduced you late one spring night
No stars, just storm clouds - you were staggering, tight.
And I laughed as you kissed her and sat her on your knee
As I prowled off to the cooler to toast you with beer.

By the time I returned she was yours for the taking,
Standing half naked and babies a-baking.
Looking at you, you had one clear advantage
Chanel No5, not my nature-boy savage

And you talked about jewelery, false nails and knickers
As I strummed on my Martin and watched you convince her.
By the time that you left, I had lost her as well
And you'd wing her to bed, as best I could tell.

But there's no stopping spunk and you have it by the handful.
I salute your new conquest - she tells me she's blissful.
And despite your couture and your long golden tresses
I will sing for you both in your white wedding dresses."

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
