Poem : Should I Ask...

The games that people like to play
To mess inside our head.
To act all coy and hard to get,
To get into your bed

There’s people who just can’t talk straight
Around-the-subject sneaking
They dance around the topic as
A substitute to speaking

They’d rather hint or intimate
Than make a lewd suggestion
They’d rather beat about the bush
Than ask a simple question

Sometimes it’s hard to gauge just what
A person might be thinking
But sometimes it is preferable
To sit on your own drinking

For if you ask a girl direct
If you could have the pleasure
You might receive a welcome yes;
A moment you could treasure

But often not knowing is why
These mind games are engaged
It’s better simply not to know
Than getting all enraged
