True Lust

I’m outside weed-whacking when a girl
I’ve loved for five years comes strolling
along and says, “Hey.”

I say, “Hey, look, since I’ve been working,
I lost my gut.” Then I lift up my
shirt and show her my big red belly.

She laughs and says, “You still have a gut.”

I say, “No, it’s all muscle now.”

She says, “Chad, you only have one muscle,
and it’s of no use to me anymore.”

I just smile and go back to my whacking.
