Beautiful but...

   Beautiful, But…          

   Clark Steven Lupton

   2003



   You really are quite gifted

   Your life is really blessed

   Not only are you pretty

   You have a bouncy chest



   But no matter how pretty you are

   There's one thing that stays the same

   You never understand the simple things

   Because you don't have half a brain



   Whenever I ask you a question

   You always respond with, "Huh?"

   I don't know if that's worse

   Than when you answer, "Duh"



   I asked you where you lived

   You said, " Duh, I live inside my house"

   I would feel like Einstein

   If you became my spouse



   So I'd take you to a disco

   Where I can watch you dance

   I wouldn't have to hear your thoughts

   Since you would be in a trance



   I like to look at you

   Whenever we go walking

   But I wish I could strangle you

   Whenever you start talking



   We walked down the beach

   You said you'd like to marry

   But the thought of having kids with you

   Is really downright scary!

  

   If we had a kid,

   And it couldn't count to five

   I certainly would be

   The unhappiest man alive



   Your stupidity comes from small brains

   Your brains are the size of pins

   The only way you'd have more brains

   Is if you were having twins



   But you are loving and caring

   And you have a heart

   These things make up for

   You not being smart    



   You may never be on Jeopardy

   You may never read a book

   But the reason you’re still my girlfriend

   Is because I like the way you look

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This came to me in Glorietta mall (sometimes I get inspiration in the malls.) I was actually thinking about stupidity at first and then who are the stupid types? Beautiful women don't really have that much of the stupid stereotype (except blondes)but I decided to pick on beautiful women because at the time there were no beautiful women doodling my name with hearts in their notebooks so I had to get back! And yes, I sat down in the food court and wrote it all out in one sitting.

Very direct to the point. The poem is funny but it also packs a mean punch. I especially like the 6th stanza because it's the one that I find the funniest. Hehe.

Hi Clark! I loved this for some reason. It really made me smile. I thought the part about only having more brains if you were having twins was unique.
Yes, I still write poems today. Not as often.. I've covered every topic and I feel my poems are starting to all sound the same. I posted some up just now that are a few months old. And yes, I've always written/rhymed my own poems, which has been since grade 4. =)
