Venus And Her Martians

Her lover hadn't called in days
She could feel him pulling away

So she read Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus
The chapter about how men are like rubber bands
And she figured he just needed some space

Well he had it, a couple hundred miles of it.

Still she couldn't stop thinking about him
So she called her friend to go to the bar
She thought she'd drown her sorrows in vino

When her friend picked her up in his red BMW
His roommate was sitting in the front seat
Trouble.
She'd always had steamy fantasies about him

Her friend was buying...
A Fat Tire
A Mike's Lemonade
A glass of Riesling
And another

Too many for a school night.

She blabbed on and on at the bartender
About her favorite places in Switzerland and Spain
"You have to go there, it's utterly beautiful."

At the end of the evening she found herself in the roomate's king-sized waterbed
He wrapped himself around her and fell asleep
The way she always wished her lover would, but never did
...Always hungry for affection

When he awoke things started to heat up.

His lips were big and soft and deliciously squishy
She marvelled in the feel of his slight muscles against her subtle curves
And his skin was like silk under her fluttering fingers
He was everything her lover was not.

But it was still her lover that she longed for.
