The Hippie wishes to frolic with his pretty girl
in the sunshine of their lives.

The janitor wants a pretty girl
as well

The poet who preserves his poems in plastic
wants
just one pretty lady
who will listen to him read
all the live long day.

The homeless man, wants a pretty girl,
to give him a bit of cash
so he can by a drink and tell
the bar tender about the pretty girl.
The narcissistic dentist claims he
reaches down the long throats of his prettiest patients
and yanks out their souls  while they dream..

The bus driver wants his seats
filled with pretty girls
so he can watch each one walk away

The astronaut wants a planet of
pretty alien girls.

The artist wants his pretty girls,
still and curvy.
The story teller’s mind is filled with pretty girls
who are
lovelier than a Key West sunset-
As pretty as a playhouse
He wants a woman worthy of his words.
The surgeon knows better than anyone
That true beauty beneath the bones,
But admits he will shed more than one tear
For the pretty damsel that flat lines on his table.

The man who says she doesn't have to be pretty-
I want to meet that man, just as he's opening his eyes, to a new day-
When he is sound and sober.


About Holly Jaffe


My name is Holly and I was born in April not December.I live in Boca Raton, Fl which is not a town, a suburb or a city. It's too perfect here, and that makes me a bit nervous. I'm quirky and a bit crazy but I am not a harm to myself or others. I love independent movies, sketching bowls of fancy fruit,dusting small breakable objects and dark chocolate...Cover it in chocolate and I will eat it...Yep,that too. I like to surround myself by people who can laugh at themselves and at life in general. Surprise, surprise, I love to write. If I could I would write all the live long day I would be a happy girl.
