Oh God

Paul Bell

Oh God, 

 

Take thy nagging woman

 

Bring her back a blond

 

Slightly dumb, would not be frowned upon

 

 

 

Oh God,

 

Could you give her rubber gloves

 

Make her iron in the nude

 

If you could

 

 

 

Oh God 

 

One without a headache would be handy

 

They tell me nymphs are always randy

 

 

 

Oh God 

 

Can I get one that’s tight

 

Not too bright

 

Brings in beer

 

Doesn’t shout in your ear

 

 

 

Oh God 

 

Can I change her every week

 

Would that be a cheek

 

A month would be fine

 

If I take a shine

 

 

 

Oh God 

 

One more ask

 

The girls on My Poetry  might take me to task

 

Can you make them think this is a beautiful sonnet

 

Aimed at them all 

 

Keep it under your bonnet.

    Paul this one made me smile then laugh no easy task and it flowed so well. The satire of prayer for sex in such a humble way I thought that maybe Mark Twain wrote it. I have to say I really loved this poem it hit all the right points and for those ladies on the site that might take offense they really should step back and get the bigger picture for it speaks more of men than of women. A fave my friend

      Putting you up for my ladies' defence complaint department. lol

      • sorenbarrett

        Complaint departments are the same all over, wait in a long line to talk to one that doesn't care and has no power to make any corrections.

        • Paul Bell

          So true.

        • Friendship

          Your poem revolves around a humorous and somewhat irreverent request to God for a perfect partner. The speaker expresses dissatisfaction with their current relationship, highlighting stereotypical traits of both partners and their desires for an idealized, submissive woman. The subject matter touches on themes of gender roles, desire, and the absurdity of objectifying relationships.

            To give him his due, he was watching the cup final, and I know she was trying to highlight the house was on fire, but you can't disturb a man when the footballs on. lol

            I think it says more about men than woman, so no offence should be taken, really enjoyed the read

            • Paul Bell

              I think so, too.

              But were your prayers answered? Ergo, no God.......

              • Paul Bell

                Strangely enough, no. lol

                • Doggerel Dave

                  Oh well, better luck nest time - You should perhaps join the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

                • Tristan Robert Lange

                  Paul, this one’s cheeky as hell…irreverent but self-aware enough to pull it off. It’s satire in a pint glass, and the final twist seals it perfectly. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    Just waiting for the female version of man to come out now. lol
