I’m totally infatuated with a one-armed man
He’s cold, calculating, insensitive,
But I love him. (Swoon)
There’s something about him that intrigues me.
I can’t take my eyes off of him.
Oh my gosh - those big square shoulders!
He’s not very handsome, but when I push his belly
Button, I get goose bumps.
His eyes roll back in his head,
And he whistles at me through his teeth,
And loud bells sound.
I’m in love (swoon)
Sometimes he gives me money.
That’s what I really like about him.
He’s loaded with money - lots of it!
Sometimes he shares it with me,
And when he does -
I grab it and run to Walmart before they close.
He understands.
But sometimes he gets selfish
and keeps all the money for himself.
Things just don’t line up the way I expect them to.
He sneers at me through three different colored eyes.
I sigh,
Say goodbye to the one-armed guy
But breaking up is so very hard to do.

Very interesting....man...
...could it be the one arm machine at a casino where you put you coins and see a smile to hear coins jingle out.
A nice run to buy all the goodies when he smiles.
Lol
Congrats even though you loose out on the average run.
