  This Tired, Lonely Man

  by compound complex in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this tired, lonely man has been snared, but i protest little .

  she holds me tenderly in her tightening but welcome thrall.

  i cave willingly -- oh, so willingly -- to her amatory attentions.

  Welcome to the forum . . . glad to meet you!

  Re your clever poem:

  It's perfect in its straightforward simplicity, yet it has an underlying message that we all should heed.

  THANKS! !!!

  Welcome, piztjw!

  Good one!

  Interesting re beside/besides:

  Beside -- as noted above -- means "at the side of," yet besides similarly means "along the side of." However, besides may indicate "in addition to." Therefore, "Besides (i.e., in addition to) a dog, a book is a man's best friend," makes more sense grammatically, but what you offered is a humorous twist that carries the day [how does one carry the day?].

  THANKS!

  Thanks for your posts, Oubliette and LisaRose!

  Excellent!

  Nice comment about inspiration toward creativity, Lisa. A little student of mine has asked to be taken to an art museum in order to become inspired!
