I'm Your Man (a parody)

(sing along!)

If you want a poet, I''ll compose some steamy lines for you
And before you know it, I will have to draw our blinds for you.
If you want a dancer, move in close
Or laugh at my wry jokes
You know you can.
I'm your man.

If you want to take a trip to Greece, I will fly with you
Or if you want to fight a war for peace, I will die with you.
If you want me to tear off all your clothes
Or buy a long stem rose,
Here I stand.
I'm your man.
Or
If you are in the midst of deep despair
There are stories I can share.
Here I stand.
I'm your man.

Ah. The night's too short, no time to court
Imaginations must be fed.
I've been rehearsing lines to make you mine
And take you to my bed.
But a man never made a woman (swoon)or(hot) or (got a woman back)
Not by giving her his keys
Or I'd clean for you baby , scrub your bathroom floor
bring your groceries in, answer your front door.
And I'd write about your hair
And your underwear
and say, please, please (please)
I'm your man.

If you want to meditate a moment down the road
I will pray with you.
Or if you want to drink red wine and smoke
I will play with you.
If you want to beat me 'cause I sleep
Or hear songs that make you weep,
or
If you want to practice Zen
I'll introduce you to my friend
You know you can.
I'm your man.

If you want diamonds for your wrist
I will steal for you.
Or if you want to plant a secret kiss
I'll bite your ear for you.
If you want to read a poem X-rated
About beauty that has faded,
Here I stand.
I'm your man.

Okay... another special occasion. This was worth being up late for; time to get out the bag of emoties. C'mon guys, line up. That's right, over here... hustle,hustle. Don't have all night, y'know. Third one down, move in a little closer. Now... okay, there you go... you got it... thanks.



Thanks for making my day, Jill . SUPER !!!

Tough to pick out favourites, but this is great:

Ah. The night's too short, no time to court
Imaginations must be fed.
I've been rehearsing lines to make you mine
And take you to my bed.

This too:

If you want to meditate a moment down the road
I will pray with you.
Or if you want to drink red wine and smoke
I will play with you.

And this:

If you want diamonds for your wrist
I will steal for you.
Or if you want to plant a secret kiss
I'll bite your ear for you.
If you want to read a poem X-rated
About beauty that had faded,
Here I stand.
I'm your man.

Well, I can't keep going like this or I'll parrot it all back to you. These little guys are tired, too.

Thanks for taking the time and giving the thought.

Hi Jill ~

I just noticed that you've edited more here. It just occurred to me that "I'm Your Man" would've been a great song to parody for the poetry comp... the title being something someone on the run might finally admit when captured. I'll check to see what edits you've made.

There. Done. Read your minor changes and great additions. You've done such a fine job on this, Jill. Rhythmic and Delightful!!
