Got The Tattoo

Paul Bell

Another failed relationship

She really should write a paper on love

Or love and where to find it

This would be her fifth failure

She really should get a tattoo to celebrate

Jenny was there

Seen it done it got the tattoo

Was it five years ago, she told John she was in love with another

What were his words to her

If you’re really in love, you need to pursue it

She should have got that tattoo also

Some lucky girl would be with John now

Tip, Jenny, some lucky girl

She arranged to meet Tilly for a drink

Bitch about men and the world

Just bitch in general

Tilly was late

Tilly was always late

But she did spot an old familiar face

Hello John, long time no see

Jenny, how are you

Fine, I’m meeting Tilly, but she’s late as usual

Well, let me buy you a drink while you’re waiting

So how's things with you then, tell me you're married with two children and things couldn’t be better

No, I don’t have any children, but I’ve set a date to get married in July

Wow, fantastic, hope you’ll both be very happy

I picked up the engagement ring earlier, what do you think

That is stunning, she’ll be ecstatic

Try it on, so I can see what it looks like

I can’t do that, is that not bad luck or something

Don’t be silly, that's an old wives tale

Okay, then, this might be the nearest I ever get to wearing an engagement ring. What do you think, does it suit me

Suits you fine, I’ve booked the 23rd of July if you want to come

Aw, that’s nice, it will be my pleasure to come to your wedding                                   

Okay then, see you on the 23rd

Eh, John, your fiancées ring, I think she’ll maybe want to see it

She’s wearing it dopey

She is

Tilly says she’ll ring you tomorrow, something about chief bridesmaids dresses she said

    Brilliant!
    when you get your book published, be sure to let me know
    I'll be first in line, my friend
    (metaphorically that is, I'm a man
    so
    that whole, 'first in line' is a bit of a stretch;
    but the sentiment
    that's me being 100% and wholeheartedly, sincere!)
    lol

      Once I grow up, I'll write a book. lol

      This is one so good
      A happy ending love tale
      Butterflies running in my tummy
      So fluttery felt
      Very good one dear Paul
      I am behind Mek in the line

        Nothing like a happy ending.

        • spilleronsheet

          Ohhhh that’s sad…only if it could be a happy ending…

            Was that you.

            I love the conversational style of this, makes me feel like a stranger witnessing. 💖

              That's how I wrote it, evesdropping.
