SINGLE WHITE FRUSTRATED MALE

by Dan Diaz

Women women everywhere.
I cannot help but gawk and stare.
Nothing but candy for my eyes.
Look at those legs, look at those thighs.
Look at those curves, look at that hair.
I wonder if she has any underwear?
I wonder if she has a boyfriend or spouse?
I wonder if she'll consider me a man or a mouse?
If I say the wrong thing, will she yell and curse?
I hope that isn't a gun in her purse.
I sure hope she isn't seeing another man.
Oh look, there he is, he's holding her hand.
Oh well, I don't care. It wasn't meant to be.
There's more women out there, more fish in the sea.
Look at that woman with the bow in her hair.
Ignoring me completely as if she doesn't care.
Alas! There's another with beauty and grace.
I could sure do without that awful look on her face.
I like those two honeys joined together at the hand.
It's too bad that neither of them prefer a man.
I'm young, healthy, and single, these days are supposed to be fun.
But instead, my nights are dateless, I'm ruined and undone.
What must I do for some romance? What must I do to get me in?
What must I do to get myself out of this permanent tailspin?
How do people do it? How do they make it work?
What must I do to keep myself from being treated like a jerk?
Are these really supposed to be the greatest years of my life?
Searching every corner for a lover or a wife?
I cannot take it anymore. I'm beginning to get queasy.
Maybe it's true what they say. Dogs have it easy.
I'm sick of the single life. I'm sick of going through this.
I'm sick of seeing happy couples living in warmth and bliss.
I'm sick of happy love songs I'm sick of Valentine's day.
I'm sick of my frustration. Will it ever go away?
I'm sick of having no one to talk to. I'm sick of the humiliation.
I'm sick of having to write this. It's not my best creation.
I hate the fact that all of you have a better love life than me.
Most of all, I hate continuing this. Now go away and let me be!
