Mike Berger, Ph.D.
There was a hint of stubble on my chin
Though you could hardly see it.
Hormones were coursing through
my blood; I believed I was a stud.
I played a mean game of football.
We crushed opponents and won every game.
The chicks wouldn’t leave me alone
except for Alice who was totally blasé.
She was intriguing, so I pursued her.
It took three months before she’d go out with me.
I thought I was another Hollywood hunk
but she treated me like I was a geek.
Why do men want to climb mountains?
Alice presented such a challenge.
Was her aloofness real or just a charade?
Was I, just one more guy to be played?
I thought I was getting to second base
When that little lady trashed my heart.
I was in despair when she left me
to go and sit next to another guy.
I was stunned; and couldn’t move.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
I thought I would shrivel up and die.
She was constantly on my mind.
For more than a week, I hurt and pined away.
I wasn’t used to coming in second.
A month later, I was approached by the other guy.
He pleaded with me to take her back.
