Sex And Confusion

[Robert Crisman]

He was young, dumb, and homeless when he met this girl named Debbie; they seemed to click and she took him home to play house.

She called it falling in love, but it was really a mixture of sex and confusion, and while the sex was good for a minute, they found out quick that they'd nothing much to say to each other, which ratcheted puzzlement upward.

Both sex and confusion got old in a hurry, leaving in train the boredom, resentment, and so forth that's found at the end of the trail when boy and girl are still strangers.

They got into fights, dumb-ass fights, and one day she tossed all his clothes out the window, and so much for Romance For Dummies...

He wanted to clock her but, uh uh, no, and so he went out and grabbed up his shit, and kept right on stepping, and found a new girl that very same night, and they seemed to click, and he wound up homeless at her place.

This time he was smarter; he kept his clothes stashed in his sack...

Oh no,................ this is Sales 101.

Keep your clothes packed; your mouth shut and smile a lot so she never knows what you're thinking.

And as any good salesman will tell you; always maintain a back door.

Make sure the other one  is cute and her daddy owns a Starbucks:)

Loved this one, Robert. So, so true.

Back in the day, I learned real quick not to take in strays because then you have to edge them/kick them out. Much better to go to his  place, I always thought.

You've put into few words how many so-called love stories go in real life. That last sentence says a lot!

[Mike Handley]

Partying with Pavlov, 101. Confusion ain't good.

Well, he learned one thing, but as someone I know likes to say..."Any port in a storm."

Great love story, Robert. ;-)
