Can't Buy A Clue
by Nancy Ames"I'm sitting here
in my good girl dress
and I've got an awful fear
that I might say 'yes'.
And it's all because you
can't buy a clue.
I'm a used piece of kleenex
-I'm soft but I'm strong -
you call it love when you mean sex
and then you treat me like I don't belong.
And it's all because you
can't buy a clue.
The highway is the last place
you'll ever hear my voice -
the last time you got on my case,
you just left me no choice.
And it's all because you
can't buy a clue." 01/23/2008
Author's Note: This poem is about a girl who falls in love with a wealthy, power-driven man and his failure to value her. It wants to be a song some day.
