Poetry On The Odyssey: Toes Painted Red

You once loved a girl

You once loved a girl

Who’s laugh stopped your world

She loved the color yellow

Because it reminded her of

How bright the world could be


You once loved a girl

Her hair was the color of wheat

That grew in the field next to you

Her eyes were like the coffee

You drank every morning


You once loved a girl

Who loved when the wind

Played with her hair while

The windows were down

And music blared


The sound of windchimes

Brought her soul to life

With the fresh cut wildflowers

On her counter,

She would have made a great wife


You once loved a girl

Who painted her toes red

She would tell you that it

Lit her soul on fire

And she loved that

She would put those red toes

On your dash

While holding your hand in hers

You both laughed


You once loved a girl

Who would’ve given you

Everything

But instead of lifting her soul up

You broke it

When you left

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
