Girls Girls Girls

a careful word,
in a careless tone,
a constant effort,
in a brief time alone,
a longing gaze,
as you push them away,
that's how it works,
or so they say.

a closed mouth,
with an open ear,
the drop of everything,
the catch of a tear,
a helpful approach,
to a needy situation,
I've heard it said,
with vindication.

a knowing look,
with a dumb smile,
a heated touch,
with a cool guile,
a playful voice,
with serious intention,
apparently works wonders,
somebody mentioned.

a load of rubbish,
is what I surmise,
a girl can't be written,
in a step-by-step guide,
but if you're wanting a tip,
there is one thing I'll say,
give her a ring,
and she'll go all the way.
