All the men I never kissed 

inspired by Kim Moore’s collection All the Men I Never Married

All the men I never kissed

Have grown grey and old

They’re unaware of what they missed

When I was young and bold

My friends were prettier and smart

I watched them lure lads in

And told my aching lustful heart

To wait for love, and sin

All the men I never kissed

Have grown old and grey

I’m unsure what I may have missed

Or if I got away

From eager hands and bruising lips

From love bites in a chain

And fumbling round with stubborn zips

Bursting with the strain

All those men now totter past

With sticks and dogs in tow

And I am mildly flabbergast

They’re bald and fat and slow

I’m older too and less concerned

To test a prince or frog

Forgive, forget I once was spurned

By men I longed to snog
