He called them
as he saw them
Straight shooting man
that he always had been
But damned if he
didn’t knock this one
straight out of the field
She’s pretending to be
all so sweet and innocent
pretending that she
doesn’t know
what she’s doing
and that she’s
powerful enough
to make grown men
bawl and squall
and carry on
She flirts with disaster
dances with the devil
winks at the stranger
and cheats the curse
of ordinary
every single day
She sweet talks
naturally
pulling out all the stops
while drinking
sweet wine
sweet tea
hard lemonade
He calls her “Mi Lady”
she calls him
when she needs him
to help make sure
she doesn’t create
another
beautiful disaster
