Jenny drove me when we met
to the racetrack parking lot.
I went in to place a bet
on "Jenny Likes it Hot."

I won the first race, no trouble
with that horse, I'll brag.
But missed the daily double
When I found Jenny dressed in drag.

Jenny got me all so wrong
in the backseat of her cab,
wearing nothing but a thong
covered by pounds of flab.

I went back in to place a fiver
on a mare named "Jenny's Pair,"
and another called "Screw the Driver"
and ran back to Jenny's lair.

Jenny bit me when we met,
An act for which I wasn't ready.
Told me, when I seemed upset,
That Plath had done the same to Teddy.

Say my writing's going well,
Say a Nobel Prize would fit me.
Say I'm great in bed -- but hell,
Jenny bit me.

"Sweets, I'm I'm I'm into you:
Jenny, Jenny, love-thief, we
have Time to put...list-Jumping who?
Say Say Say say me me me:
from the chair, get that in wealth!"
...and she sat, kiss'd kiss'd, but add
that, growing weary, miss'd your health
when old met sad.

I.

Jenny glassed me when we met:
Shaking hands occasioned panic,
Made me seem a sexual threat,
Made her lash out, wild-eyed, manic,
Screaming in misandrist hate.
I lay bleeding, feeling ghastly,
Blinded by my mad blind date:
Jenny glassed me.


II.

Jenny blanked me when we met,
Acting insolent and scornful,
Marching past me, jawbone set,
Leaving me alone and mournful,
Wounded by her arrogance.
Two policemen came and flanked me,
Asked me why I had no pants.
Jenny blanked me.

Jenny passed me when we met,
Soaring as she revved the motor
Of her brand-new red Corvette
One fine day in Minnesota.
She threw a kiss, then sped away,
And now the memory must last me.
How I rue that fateful day
Jenny passed me!

Jenny drew me when we met,
Showed me with a nasty snicker,
Made me feel a bit upset.
‘Surely, Jen, my hair is thicker?
Am I quite that ugly? Fat?
Is this really how you view me?’
Now I rue the evening that
Jenny drew me.

Jenny read me when we met
Verses of her recent drafting
In the hope that they would get
Kudos, not derisive shafting.
How I rue my thoughtless act,
And the tongue-pie that she fed me!
What a lesson -'Show some tact! -
Jenny read me!

Jenny cooked me when we met,
Scooped my brains out, fried them lightly,
Spread them on a half baguette,
Grilled my leg and made a sprightly
Caper sauce to serve. Although
Other chefs have overlooked me,
Sneered I’m ‘tough’, I’d have them know
Jenny cooked me.

Jenny sacked me when we met,
Said I’d done an operation
While I smoked a cigarette.
So? A surgeon’s concentration
Wanes without some nicotine.
Heedless of this vital fact she
Made a bloody awful scene:
Jenny sacked me.
