Sorry, I Just Couldn't Resist...
It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain where I was
and I still need more time to come up with a lie
You won't believe it
All you will think is I had an affair
and so I should just tell the truth
Although it is making me cry
I had to see Maria, I had to go
Couldn't stay one more day with my wife
Putting up with her anger, getting nothing but glares
So I chose freedom
Running around, flying secretly too
Neglecting my family and state
To go be with someone who cares
Chorus:
Don't cry for me Appalachia
The truth is I never hiked you
I skipped the wildflowers
Forgot the backpack
I brought my passport
And several condoms
Don't cry for me Appalachia...
(breaks off, in tears)
Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
When I try to explain where I was
and I still need more time to come up with a lie
You won't believe it
All you will think is I had an affair
and so I should just tell the truth
Although it is making me cry
I had to see Maria, I had to go
Couldn't stay one more day with my wife
Putting up with her anger, getting nothing but glares
So I chose freedom
Running around, flying secretly too
Neglecting my family and state
To go be with someone who cares
Chorus:
Don't cry for me Appalachia
The truth is I never hiked you
I skipped the wildflowers
Forgot the backpack
I brought my passport
And several condoms
Don't cry for me Appalachia...
(breaks off, in tears)

There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me to know

Bless your heart, LisB.
It makes me (almost) want to go out and get a fake spray-on tan and tooth veneers.
I am touched.

LOL! Hey, if you want a fake tan, take some of my orange avatar...

I'm partial to hats. Or, um, scented candles. But I prefer hats.

Well, it's not Argentina's fault that yet another uber repressed high power so-called "christian" has been lead astray by his penis. And what a relief he wasn't roaming the Appalachian Trail in rut!
Gads, I wouldn't even care except for the blasted hypocrisy of it all.
Nice poem LisB!

What a hoot! Highly rec'd.
How about Ensign? You know, the my affair with my employee's wife, who turned employee, who lives across the street with children that play with mine and now wants to rape me by money bluesy type of thing?

I think you've missed your calling, LisB. Satire and song it is.

One person's folly inevitably turns into someone else's inspiration.
There is just no figuring the Ying and Yang of life. The more we try to figure out or explain it, the more confused we become.
