THE HUNGRY BOYFRIEND

 

The Hungry Boyfriend

 

lounges in the recliner with his pressed coffee and remote,

top shelf chaser, knuckles in his mouth.

Only the best for the double negative boyfriend

who loves her and promises he won’t do it again

but he’s always so hungry, hungry, hungry.

 

Curtains drawn, superheroes on the screen

he waits for her to come home with food.

A high-flying career guy who pushes carts in the rain

is it any wonder he can dish out the pain?

He gobbles up friends and eats self esteem

devours her cash like a casino machine.

 

Lock your phone with a thumbprint, sleep with a knife

when a double negative boyfriend sneaks into your life.

But she tells all who listen he won’t do it again,

nothing to worry about from this DN boyfriend.

 

He’s calm and connected, swallows his pills dry,

patiently pacing for the mouse to arrive.

But she did it again and ruined his mood

empty handed up the walk, bitch where’s my food!
