They hung out together, all of the writers from one city
Pity because even though there were wonderful words going on about the place, each and every one of their faces went raspberry read as soon as a woman tried to approach
They may have had the written word down to a t but there was no such joy when it came to having a drink late at night, chatting up the party-hard girls from their city
As I say, pity really
None of them had a girlfriend because they spent far too much time with their heads in the sand, hands doing the only kind of ninety they knew, pad at the ready, churning out an all too mesmerising slew of words

The perfect man for her and even though all that he saw was a jaw-dropping beauty, he had to leave her behind all because of his insistent duty
