Robin Amy Bass

COL

It’s late in the evening
I must go to sleep
but as I drift off,
A smile starts to creep

On to my face,
And, before I depart
I trying to say something
witty and smart

Alas, I’m exhausted
I barely can start
Col you ol rascal
You’ve stolen my heart

My name up in headlights
In what’s known as Caps
Well that’s an improvement
Last week I wrote crap

This week there are verses
whose title is me
And… Just as I’m calling
Hey Ben come and see

Col’s written me something
I spy the PEE ESS
My name as the title
He now sights the rest

I’m listed with ladies
creative, it’s true
I’m very possessive
So what should I do

I’ll get me some sleep
and tomorrow proceed
to write a COL poem
and will thus sate the need

to graciously thank him
for spelling it write;
Yes Col I say Thank You
Please have a goodnight.

Author’s Note: PS…A goodnight to all the men I hold dear, Tony, Woody, Subs, T-bone, Ben, Chuck, Snake, Phil, Steve, Roger, and my first-grade boyfriend… Ezra, Fred…the new member Andy
