Playboy: a man who lives life devoted chiefly to the pursuit of pleasure.
Merriam Webster Dictionary
Ha, no. Sorry… No naked photos here today. Just a pantoum. I enjoy the repetitive nature of the pantoum form and I like that it is not so inflexible that you can change things up if necessary. The topic struck my fancy by way of observation and anecdote. Any similarity to real life is coincidental, If you think it’s about you, it isn’t but perhaps you need therapy.

She tells you just how wonderful you are. You’ll do anything it takes to feel loved, back at home in bed. She believes it’s real and true. You’ll do anything it takes to feel loved While she plays along it’s easy. She believes it’s real and true. Until she says “no”, nothing has to change. While she plays along it is easy. Just tell her all the things she wants to hear. Until she says “no”, nothing has to change. Remind her that you deserve this. You smile as she leans into you. You know there is a reward waiting.
