A Rebirth
Cold comfort.
It began with her saying
she was not in the mood;
I knew that my comfort
would now hinge on food.
So I gorged on meals
that were full of grease
and I was on the verge
of becoming obese.
I saw that my conduct
was counterproductive
when my physiognomy
became unattractive.
All the pretty females
gave me a wide berth
so I realised the need
for a physical rebirth.
I wished to be slender;
I dieted, I exercised,
used every tool
that was ever devised.
I ran many marathons,
frequented the gym
and lo and behold:
I was once again slim.
I told my girlfriend
I’d given up junk food.
She wasn’t impressed
and still not in the mood.

Did you try a poem or two? Fair word may well win her heart.
I doubt that a girl would drop her guard, or anything else, for a couple of poems but the suggestion is worth pursuing, Mick.
Cheers.
unrequited love is something I never felt or understood, change girlfriend asap – even celibacy is more exciting than an unappreciative lover.
Not so much as unrequited love as sexual frustration, Nic. (The girlfriend loved him but she was ‘not in the mood’ for rumpy-pumpy,so to speak). He could change his girlfriend, as you suggest, but would he be any happier if she was equally unresponsive?
Thanks for reading and commenting,

If the girlfriend is constantly not in the mood, maybe its not his physique but his technique he needs to change? 😉 Sue.
You may be right, Sue. Got any useful tip? 🙂
