How You Can Tell She's Not For You

It wasn't that I had no money,

it wasn't that I was on the till.

It wasn't that her parents didn't approve

of the tape holding my converse together.

It wasn't because I was off the estate

or because I was in a state.

 

It was because of the tuft off hair on my lower back

that she wanted to shave off

and that

is how you can tell she's not for you.

If she wants you to shave

your lower back.

I had a friend who said she was 'half German' - she only shaved under one arm pit.

Not sharing my most ingongruous oddities Isobel, think my hairy tufts may ruin my glamourous image for life. lol.x

And come on guys, women wax, shave, pluck and god only knows what else. Wonder how many men would put up with legs as hairy as a yheti and Norman Lamont eyebrows - not to mention...... - hairy armpits. etc etc. Interesting.

That sounds like a very minor problem Nicky...
I would hate it if the man in my life wanted to shave the tufts of hair from my back.

Fabulous!! Very well penned. You know when your loved when your little oddities and physical incongruities are accepted.

I have a mole that pops out of my bellybutton when I'm expecting, and after my hubbies initial shock and disgust three of them ago, haha, he's accepted it as one of the family and nicknamed him 'Morris'.x

I have a friend who broke off her engagement because he has a hairy back. He used to shave it for her but she said she could still feel them.
With a phobia like that i suppose it was doomed from the start.

Interesting observation there,

Liked the odd observations in this Mr Garter... Just shows that nothing is as weird and maybe as sad as real life. Win

My wife was only trimming my ear hairs last night....she's trying to stop me turning into a hobbit. She's always on about it...but we've been together over 30 years now...a bit of mutual grooming never did any harm methinks. She started out squeezing my spots and it ends up with trimming your ears...there's a poem in there somewhere!

Love it, love it, love it.

Very subtly done.
