I saw a dead chipmunk on the side of the road and that's when it came to me.  So that's the reason I've titled this poem "Some Rocks are Gray and Some Aren't So Live With It".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.  I hope you enjoy it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;I approached you in the grocery store&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;You were fondling a peach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;My pickup line was something like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;I should be on you like a leech.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;So you brought me back to your place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;And made me a lovely dinner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;And told me you'd make love to me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;If I were 20 pounds thinner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;So for months I worked out&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;And took off the weight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Went back to your place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

Growing On The Asphalt Shingles On The Roof Of My Neighbor's Shed".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Hark!

My "muse of the moment" so to speak.  Inspiration for my poetry can strike at any time and be caused by virtually anything, including the most mundane things one can imagine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The inspiration for this particular poem, however, came from something rather exciting...at least exciting by comparison to what a normal "day in the life of Dave the Romance Poet" generally is.  It was inspired by a June bug flying into the screen that's in my office window.  It was a funny sound (I swear I heard the bug say "Fuck" when he hit the thing) and inspired the following poem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call this one "Peeing In The Creek By The Light Of A Full Moon".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you like it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;The firelight dances in your eyes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Much like a tiki torch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Like the ones on "Survivor",&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Or the one on my porch.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;And so we made love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;To an Anthrax CD&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Because that's as romantic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;As romance can be.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Your pouty lips&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Your perfect abs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;Dammit, you should've shaved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;'Cause now you gave me crabs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Thank you&lt;br /&gt;©2007 Dave the Romance Poet.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723402076288253192-6437046546867218169?l=romancepoet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~4/lCi1x_tFolA" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~3/lCi1x_tFolA/peeing-in-creek.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (lazerjock66)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://romancepoet.blogspot.com/2007/06/peeing-in-creek.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723402076288253192.post-409329486344709472</guid><pubDate>Thu, 07 Jun 2007 00:46:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-08-25T21:44:17.986-04:00</atom:updated><title>Bird Poop</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Another romantic poem that will be included in my book of romantic poems that will be published in April 2014 titled "Crabs are our friends: A collection of Romantic Poems" by Dave the Romance Poet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Thank you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;There's a funny story behind the inspiration of this poem but I can't remember it.

OK fine, I was whacking off one day and my hand flew off and I punched myself in the forehead (too much lotion probably) and that's when it came to me. Just like that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;This poem is called "Bird Poop Dribbling Down My Windshield".

Unless it's a really stupid request like the Barry Manilow/Twisted Sister mash-up called "We're Not Gonna Daybreak (It)".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;So here goes. I had to reach for inspiration for this one. So I stepped outside and saw my 72 year old neighbor bent over pulling something out of the ground like she was giving it a tugjob. Therefore, my inspiration for this poem was the bug that crawled over my foot. I call this one "Vultures Circling Overhead Looking For Something Dead to Eat"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I think it's one of my most romantic ones to date. I hope you like it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;i&gt;We undressed each other&lt;br /&gt;In the middle of the day&lt;br /&gt;We wanted a noontime&lt;br /&gt;Roll in the hay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But something caught my eye&lt;br /&gt;It was just a little thing&lt;br /&gt;Next time you wear a thong&lt;br /&gt;Could you try and hide that string?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Month after month&lt;br /&gt;That bill comes due&lt;br /&gt;It puts you in the red&lt;br /&gt;And that makes me blue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So much for our nooner&lt;br /&gt;That pretty much went south.&lt;br /&gt;But it's lunchtime, you're hungry,&lt;br /&gt;You need something in your mouth.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you&lt;br /&gt;©2007 Dave the Romance Poet.&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723402076288253192-3012553608403431009?l=romancepoet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~4/aWSQzvTHO68" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~3/aWSQzvTHO68/vultures.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (lazerjock66)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://romancepoet.blogspot.com/2007/06/vultures.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1723402076288253192.post-1634728357596140365</guid><pubDate>Sat, 02 Jun 2007 12:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-08-25T21:45:29.164-04:00</atom:updated><title>Itchy Anus</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Here's another one of my poems that will appear in my upcoming book (which is slated for release in April 2014).

Writers often draw their inspiration from what they call their "muse". And while I had a muse at one time in my life, this particular poem was inspired by a box of Junior Mints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;While in a theater watching a movie and eating a box of Junior Mints, this poem, basically from out of nowhere, popped into my head. Now, it could have been equally inspired by a box of cereal or Ritz crackers or any other brand of crackers for that matter or even by a box of cookies. But it wasn't. It was inspired by Junior Mints.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Which is why I have titled this poem "Sipping Iced Tea on a Warm Sunny Day". I hope you like it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="font-family: arial; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;i&gt;I have a tab.&lt;br /&gt;You have a slot.&lt;br /&gt;I think you're pretty.&lt;br /&gt;I think you're hot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So if I ask,&lt;br /&gt;Please say, "Why not?"&lt;br /&gt;And let me put my tab&lt;br /&gt;Into your slot.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Thank you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;I hope you liked reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Love, (and © 2007)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;Dave the Romance Poet&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;&lt;!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4021123347433956"; google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.lazerentertainment.makesparties.com"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel = ""; google_color_border = "336699"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "0000FF"; google_color_text = "000000"; google_color_url = "008000"; //--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1723402076288253192-7243449432525434039?l=romancepoet.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~4/EaT8zAsTDcg" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/RomanticPoems/~3/EaT8zAsTDcg/my-new-career.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (lazerjock66)</author><thr:total>1</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://romancepoet.blogspot.com/2007/05/my-new-career.html</feedburner:origLink></item></channel></rss>
