Words From The Attic... Susan

tommyrawblog@gmail.com

I wrote this for a girl named
Susan... obviously!


And oh... it's fuckin' horrible!!


She was the older sister

of an amazing gal pal I had

from the high school daze...
Michele.
Michele was one of a kind...
loved that chick!


But...
I was completely head over heels
in love with her older sister Susan.
Although... she just laughed at me
every time I told her so...

and right to my fuckin face no less LoLoLoL

Love that chick!
I was still in high school
with Michele so she must have
been maybe 20 or so at that time.


But even after we graduated when
I swung by to see Schell,
and drink her dad's beer...
she'd still laugh.
I didn't have a snowballs chance
in hell with her :(


In fact, Sue & Schell lived right
across the street from
their cousin Margaret.
That's right,
the very same Maragret
from a few poems back
that I was with briefly
right before I shipped out
for the navy sooo long ago.

In fact... I located MANY poems

from that period that were to, and about her.

It's so funny how even tiny matters of the heart

can stay with you forever! LoL

I wrote them because well, I was such an a-hole

to her right before I left!

Guys can be such scumbags!


And after re-reading this...

it seems that I was in love
with the entire female side
of the family at one point
or another... : )
Too funny.

Navy boot camp was... 1981.

And I think I sold this one to at least

60 of the 90 guys that were in my company!

So funny.
They would just replace
the name Susan
with their wife's
or girlfriends name.

Even had a few crazy bastards

that sent it to both

saying that they wrote it!

Guys are really horrible aren't they!


I sold all my boot camp
writings for stamps
and whatever other stationary I needed.

My locker looked like a damn

"Office Max" store for goodness sakes!

Susan

Today's the day

And yes it's true
The day of your birth
My precious you


It's a day of joy
And of sharing love
A love that was sent
From the heavens above


Now today's your day
So lets make the most
And I think I'll start off
With this here toast


You're wild and fresh
With wide open eyes
So ride your dreams
Up to the skies


They say that dreams
They keep you alive
Well after all
Life is meant to be lived
And not just to survive


You're young and free
And beautiful still
So shoot for the stars
And forget the bill


Now listen here Sue
I wrote this here... just for you
If it brings a smile
It's okay with me
'Cause a smile is the thing
That I like to see


So enjoy your day
It's your very own one
It's the only day... you can stop
And just be a bum


Happy Birthday!
Love tommy
