ONCE I HAD A LOVER

 

 

ONCE I HAD A LOVER 

 

Once I had a lover,

I haven\'t any more

She tried to kiss me on the lips

and fell upon the floor.

 

I am over 6 feet tall

and she is 4 feet nine,

her lips were never long enough

to reach right up to mine.

 

She stood upon a pair of steps

but still there was a gap

our lips were destined not to meet

her height a handicap.

 

And as she stretched with pouting lips

she toppled to the floor,

once I had a lover

but I haven\'t any more.
