The Boyfriend
I bet that if you had a boyfriend
Who always smelled like some cheese
You send him under a water drip
Pay his fare so he’d think it was free
The fear in your eyes as he walked away
Would promise you flack from your friend
But it would be fun for you either way
Hanging out ’til the day got to end
The boy he would think you negligent
Because you wanted him in clothes that were new
A puddle would have just suited him
The rain would have done the trick too.
Just for the record nobody said
The boyfriend couldn’t come back
It’s just that the rhubarb smell of him
Made showering on the right track.
He’d skim on the soap and use little else
So the subtle smell would still be there
A thread of his nastiness lasting for days
Like toffee bits stuck in your hair.
But you love the worm, no matter how bad
He stinks and turns off your friends
It’s all worth the hugs and love that he gives
And you know that this love never ends

Thanks Christine. You’re not alone in using them alphabetically. I just find it easier to list them that way after the week’s 3TCs. Glad you take part and enjoy it.
