YOUR INSIGNIFICANT OTHER

Recent events have inspired this new, romantic poem. At first I thought it was too whining, but adding some humor helped.

YOUR INSIGNIFICANT OTHER

I’m just your insignificant other
And so you really needn’t bother
Sending flowers, candy and other things
To the one you keep waiting in the wings
I wait just like a silly prop
For any crumbs you choose to drop
Yes, of course it’s really dumb
To wait so long for just a crumb
Still I wait, hoping for the day
More than a crumb you’ll throw my way
Let’s end this Cat and Mouse game you play
Let this poor, little mouse get away
You’ve found some one else, why not confess?
I’m through being the “M” to your “S”
Your heart now belongs to another
And I’m through being your insignificant other
I’ve made up my mind I’m moving on
I’m taking a chance with E Harmony.com
