Why did Fred not get
Mad that his colleague
Was suggesting that
His girlfriend was a hussy?
Fred was the one who
Nearly broke it off
When we first started
Dating because that
Area hit a lull.
I wanted a break,
But Fred said, no,
I can't speak as friends,
I would want more.
All or nothing.
Hats off for his honesty.
If Fred was so ;
"Quick with comebacks."
Then he could have
At least joked:
Steady on, my
Bit of stuff is not
Some kind of nympho.
Fred could not admit
That he was tired,
So instead he let
His wife beater colleague
Believe it was
His "bit of stuff."
Just say no some nights.
It was me who
Would spurn Fred
Before it even got
Off the ground.
