strum, strum, strum

by Maria Francesca

strum, strum, strum,
I'm playing this accoustic guitar
strum, strum, strum,
because I'm very sensitive and disciplined
strum, strum, strum,
and very, very
strum, strum, strum,
deep.

strum, strum, strum,
I'm changing to minors and flats now,
strum, strum, strum,
because I'm very tortured and sad.

strum, strum, strum,
no, no, no,
strum, strum, strum,
don't try to save me
strum, strum, strum,
with affection or understanding
strum, strum, strum,
or free meals,
strum, strum,
or anonymous sex.

strum, strum, strum,
you're pretty,
strum,
no, you're beautiful,
strum, strum,
and I can see in your eyes
strum, strum,
that you're really sensitive,
strum, strum,
you really get me.
strum, strum, strum,
so, what's your name?
strum, strum, strum,
that's beautiful.
strum, strum, strum,
insert name here is so beautiful.

strum, strum, strum,
so do you live nearby?
strum, strum,
we should talk some more,
strum, strum, strum,
touch some more,
strum, strum,
drink some more,
strum, strum, strum,
break out of these limitations,
strum, strum, strum,
give ourselves to each other
strum,
freely,
strum, strum,
openly,
strum,
wildly.

strum, strum, strum,
so,
strum,
what did you say your name was?
strum, strum, strum,
that's beautiful.

This almost sounded, as I started to read it, like a Christmas poem. 'Strum, strum' etc. Then as I read I realized otherwise. And I have never made love to a woman whose name I didn't know. Thanks for the write.

I succumbed to one of these when I was 20 or so. This is so funny!

I have met a few of those along the way. I used to envy them :) Artfully done, and a beautiful read.

...being married to musicians, band member with musicians, related to musicians, and known to sometimes pose as a musician myself...oh, yeah. strum strum strum. oh, yeah.

Aptly captures the "pick up," or the "hussle" as we used to call it in the disco days. And put to guitar/music no less, brilliant, with the repetition of "strum," only adding to the effect.
