*More than Words*

She’s gonna make someone happier than words.
But I won’t tell her that…
Nor should he.

The most poetic sentiments are felt, not said. It courses deep inside more potent than any series of three words he could ever say or any verse I could write.
She in herself is More than Words—Molded in us what she’s never heard.
Now I’ve already said too much. And if you, too, must tell her how you feel:
Tell her in your eyes,
Show it in your touch.

*The Romantic*

• Look Deeply Into Eyes
• Speak Sincerely Without Presentation
• Be Yourself and Make her feel your Urgency:
  These: are the ways—I thought to win—the girl.

The soul of a Romantic is often tamed or defeated by an opponent that may look narrow but is much larger — Goes much Deeper.
Natural Chemistry and Congenial Spirits may win out, but son, it’s a 12:1 Underdog.
This life ain’t always a box of roses,
so before you hand one out—ask yourself if it belongs in this world.
In the end, each damsel is different,
But on some things—it seems—you can depend:

• Make her feel Alive
• Stimulated
• Enthralled:
  These: are the ways—that you can win—the girl.

*The Inspiration*

When life hands them lemons,
They make Masterworks.
Days that begin as tomatoes—
They grind into Heinz Field.
You see tomato,
They say tomato—
But they don’t simply say, “tomato,”
but rather, “Fried Green Tomatoes.”

This is a world where everyday
Walks of Life
become
Motion Pictures—
Given the right lens.

How can so many seemingly ordinary days inspire so many proverbs, aphorisms, poems, movies, songs, and
Art
Among So Many People?
It is the different strokes of man that allow aesthetes to paint such pretty pictures. At this instant, the inebriated lovers who strip art from the aesthetes are inspired by all too extraordinary days—
Thus it is their works that engulf art the most.

*Under the Table*

Didn’t you know?

You have to have a D Cup to Pour Drinks,
or at least be
Too Hot to Handle.
Yeah…
And if you wanna sell merchandise, then
You better have the Goods,
and you can’t just tell about the offer, you
Gotta
Show ‘Em What You Got…
Seems if you’re not Working with Something then you’ll probably
be
Working for next to Nothing.

I’m just informing you about the ways of business:
They don’t think they’ll make a Fraction: Without a Main Attraction.
But now that can’t be, can it?
We wouldn’t drink less just because her top shows less,
We’d still get Tanked even if her face looked Pranked…
And I came in just for the Wings!
Not cuz I wanna add Breasts.

Now I’m not Sayin’ I won’t look —
Just That Food was all it took.

Wish I could say this was just for overnight sensations
With misguided hopes of undercover relations,
But it seems the same applies to every field of taxations —
Sometimes even more than gigs without Taxation…
A degree might not be enough if you want to be on top,
Sometimes it takes being on bottom to be directed to the top…
Seems I can’t find a woman in a suit that I don’t want to tear out of —
You should be able to be a little overweight and still Wait,
Still expect a lot of tips without being granted tits…
And be a little full and still have some pull…
Excuse Me. Can I please get a casual face?
Or see someone get hired without an ass like a vase?
Well all the “real” women now are probably sitting behind desks:
If she’s only taking calls then we can pretend it’s Jessica Hall.
And right when they find their sanctuary —
They’re bumped for a hot new secretary.

I tell you if Jill Scott and Kelly Price can sell as modeled,
Then you gotta figure if they had a slimmer figure
They’d be making over Eight Figures.
They may be lucky they even got in, because someone surely said to them,
“You’re too big to Fit In.”
Every day a deserving Executive is turned into a Fry Lady,
If you got a Hatchet-Face then they make you a Crybaby.
The Fairer Sex has been treated Way too Wrong,
Debarred from Equal Opportunity against
Their Own too Long,
It’s gonna take a Strong Man
To come and
Right this Wrong,
Or a Natural Woman like Aretha
To sing a Shaping Song…
Until then I’ll take my service to whoever fills my needs,
That doesn’t change if she’s a Sprig or she has Double-Ds…
And I don’t tip for the cleavage — I’ll tip for the Deeds —
You shouldn’t have to hit your knees to hear a simple, “Yes, Please.”
