    Off The Cuff Part Two

    Enforced distance
    I've known her for a while.
    But I could never love her
    I'll never know her smile.

    Because she can't see me
    and I can't see her.
    She just lives around the way
    but the distance could not be further.

    And I can not explain that
    can not be really written in a book.
    She is like an ancient soul mate
    she has such a distant look.

    If I had the courage
    I'd ask her why she don't seem to like me.
    But like I'm sometimes known to do
    I'll just wait and see.

    Off the cuff
    I cry secret tears for you.
    Off the cuff
    couldn't take a rejection from you.

    -Will Dockery

    Just how many

    How many poems I've written?

    Several hundred, I haven't counted them.

    Just how many women have taken out restraining orders against you

    Relax, Peter, it was only a poem.

    ;)

    Such a silly silly man Peter is (was?).....

    It's been said that PJR isn't his real name so perhaps we'll never know for sure.
