The Man Not Taken

Two men sprawled in bed looking good,
Sorry I could not keep them both.
Being one woman, long I stood
And checked out one as far as I could
Estimating his financial growth.

Then took the other with balding hair
And having perhaps a little shame
Because he was skinny, no muscles to bare
Though as for that the time spent there
Had proven their sexuality about the same.

And both that morning equally lay
in sheets so silky smooth and black.
Oh, I reserved the first for another day.
Yet knowing a good time goes a long way,
I doubted if he would ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a cry,
Somewhere nine months hither and hence.
Two men sprawled in bed, and I,
I chose the one who told the vasectomy lie.
I wish I had known the difference!
