A while back I stumbled onto a Writer's Forum and found a place where people posted all kinds of poems and stories. I further discovered that most of the stories were short works of fiction, while most of the poems were about actual events in the lives of the poets. Not too surprsingly, a lot of the poems had to do with sex, and the forums were quite liberal in what they allowed, as long as it was tastefully written and not blatantly vulgar or too graphic. Since I was a newcomer, I decided to post a little ditty I had first heard as a teenager — and then wrote a disclaimer to go with it...
I like the girls who do — I like the girls who don't. I hate the girls who say they will And then decide they won't. But the girl who is the best of all (And I'm sure you'll say I'm right) Is the one who says "I never have — But just for you — I might." Disclaimer: I know, I know — it's shallow and chauvinistic — no need to write. Well, much to my surprise, several lady poets replied to the post with a complaint — not about the poem, but about the disclaimer, which they said was totally unnecessary. Here's what one lady wrote:
No apology needed... That poem was great! Well, putting her foot in her mouth turned out to be a whole other interesting story - more about Nora later on.
