Characters:  Callie -- a weird woman
                      Utah --  a dense, but attractive guy.
                      EZ -- the poet.



WOMEN ARE WEIRD

Why does Callie dillydally
in the alley where Utah lives?
She's a cut above, 
what gives?
Is love the missing glove
in her life?
Does she want to be his wife?
Does she tally up his sallies into Venus valley,
hoping it's a must that his lust
will permutate, soon or late,
into a different kind of love?
But still he shilly-shallies.
The time has come to shove
Signor out the door,
dear Callie,
Time to rally the galley slaves,
Make your escape
over the waves
into the arms of some other jape.
No matter what you crave,
there is out there, somewhere,
an obliging knave
willing to bear
with all your cares.
