The Neighbor
His manhood wanes
He forever complains
Flaccid, angry, abusive
Explosive, temperamental, effusive
He ingests Viagra
to recapture Niagara
Where the betrothal vows
Echo beneath the falls aloud
His vigor gone, He can’t get it on
Porn fills his screen dusk to dawn
A voyeuristic spectator unable to act
With the Devil he’s made a pact
A spiritual wasteland his life
Unrecognized by a puzzled wife
Surly, dispassionate, sleeps in his chair
Slowly erodes without worry or care
Begins his day with a cyber chat
Instant messages “Miss Pussycat”
Graphic exchanges fromYahooland
Describe fantasies out of hand
A seedy desert motel liaison
Came, went, is gone
Deplorable degree of dissatisfaction
Repugnant their physical attraction
The void is deep and bleak
Purpose lost, nothing to seek
Cyber love a strange illusion
Suicidal musings contribute confusion
His manhood wanes
He forever complains
Flaccid, angry, abusive
Explosive, temperamental, effusive
