shame

Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. This is an old adage I've heard for years. But what is shame but a feeling you have when you get caught or fooled. Nothing can cover a man or woman so completely as the fog of shame engulfing guilty souls when they are caught. It is strange to me that guilt can walk so proud until it is discovered.

fatherly advice

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I never bothered to pay attention to.

I was not and am not any different than any other son.  Sons always know more than than their fathers.  Everyone knows that.  We all go through our growing pains being pains in the asses.  It is not until we've gone over fool's hill that it dawns on us that the "old man" was not so dumb after all.  All dads give advice.  Some give a lot of advice and some give only what they think is necessary.  My dad was of the latter group.  He didn't talk much but every now and then, when we were off alone somewhere, he would offer my some words that he felt were important.  On one occasion when I was in my early teens we were sitting on the patio and he offered me these words of wisdom.  "Son, I know you're starting to take an interest in the young ladies and I think I need to offer some words of advice.  
Always treat girls with respect.

Never do anything that would make your mother ashamed of you and above all, never unzip your pants with a girl you wouldn't marry."  That was it.  He never spoke another word to me about sex.

Well if you read the first sentence of the blog you already know that I didn't listen.

I am not going to dance any skeletons out of my closet and tell all of the sordid details but I certainly would have been better off if I had listened.  I would just like to tell my dad that he was right.  It is to bad that I couldn't have said that to him while he was still alive.

bump

bump in the night
is not as strange
as you might think

you never know
whence the bump
comes or goes

some say ghosts
some say fright

but I say
a bump in
the night

is only a dream
or a rat
maybe even
a washing machine

but never a ghost
or a ghoul can
go bump

only a wife
mad as hell
can make a bump

oh hell
I was confused with
the word thump.

that is what it really was
a thump in the night
from a wife
afraid of ghosts

when I tried to
sneak in late.
she heard bump bump
I felt thump  thump

zip zip

He couldn't keep his eyes off of her lips.  They bugged him.  God how awful they looked.  Why would a women paint her lips that way?
Didn't she realize she looked like a damned whore?  Did she think men liked that look except those that knew it was a sign she was easy.  Those lips were like a neon sign advertising a product...SEX.  Come on over here guys, I have what you want and I am willing to share.  Was she a whore?
It did not matter too him whether she sold it or gave it away, she was still  a whore and shouldn't be allowed in this neighborhood.  He was fuming and decided to call the police.  Just then a man came out of a store and went up to her and started talking.  They turned to walk away. He had to intervene.  He could not let that whore do business in his neighborhood.

Hey, he called out to the couple.  "I'm calling the police and having that women arrested for prostitution and if you don't want get arrested with her you better get the hell out of here".

Are you crazy, the man replied?  This is my wife and she is dressed up for a Halloween party.  If you call the police I'll have you arrested.

Damn, he thought, will I ever be able to zip my lip?
