Days Of Wine And Romance
Back in Brooklyn College
some professor liked to hang out
with a friend of mine named Jamie
the professor was married
and had a family
and Jamie was thirty years younger
but they had wine
and bicycling in common
the professor knew
all the finer points
of wine drinking
to let the bottle breath
swirl it in the glass
until you see the “legs”
form on the side of the glass
a few times he came around
on his bike
looking for Jamie
several months later
Jamie told me the professor
wanted to suck his dick
Jamie told him to relax
and drink some wine
I guess it was awkward
and Jamie wanted to
stall for time
and let the professor
come to his senses
After that the professor
Never came around
but periodically Jamie
would say to me
“that professor wanted
to suck my dick
you know”
I guess for an undergrad
of average intelligence
a professor wanting
to suck your dick
is a status symbol

Dave,
i don't know about the poem. "Jaime" being a dude through me off. pretty weird they drank wine together, though. could almost see it coming...
my brother attends Brooklyn College. and his name is similar to the guy's in the poem. that's crazy. do you remember the professor's name?
always,
Pap

hey pap
thanks for comment, funny that your bro would wind up in BC. that was almost thirty years ago and i forgot the prof's name but i'm sure he's retired and could be dead by now.

"way to go, jamie!" and a salute to you, dave
for always surprising and entertaining us with your stories...and telling them in such a manner that takes the reader to an unexpected ending but one that is no less satisfying 
i like this a lot!
kudos,

Dave, this is classic you
I see this distinguished gentleman garbed in turtleneck and sweater with patches on the elbows riding this bike with a bottle of wine in the basket(adorned with plastic daisies, no less) coming to your door with this offer and the image is rather humorous. That you felt compelled to write a poem about it is even more humorous. I guess the moral of the story is that if you're young and in Brooklyn, watch solicitations from well-educated, cultured and tenured cyclists because you don't know dick as to their true intentions. I guess you really have to look out when you're in Brooklyn, Dave. Next time I happen there, I'll beware those fruity cycling professor types.
Interesting, dave.

hey al
thanks, just something that stuck in my head. i have a feeling that well-educated, cultured and tenured cyclists aren't just indiginous to brooklyn.

rush to judgement
dave while reading youre peice my concearn was only kids reading it i am new here and made a mistake. i didnt no you could rate poems, totally my mistake. as for tolerance i work in the food industry and many many of my freinds have been gay.i harbor no prejudice at all towards there lifestyle. again let me apologize, i no not knowing is lame excuse but it is the truth. thankyou. ps i will KEEP READING POEMS BY YOU! i will just have to learn not jump gun and be judgemental. thankyou jhage -
This poem took me for a suprise, so kudos for that. You expressed yourself and made no apologies for your material. It also has insight as to how a young women can be put into that position by a Professor. It was interesting to read.

Poetry comes in all styles, forms, and languages. We live in a world in which freedom of speech is a gift as well as law. People write what they feel, as the mood strikes them. I hope your poem is not a true story but just an expression of your freedom of speech. I respect that. I take no offense to your poem. I look upon it as a way of expressing yourself. It's a good poem, too. The point comes across well. I hope you'll stick around and keep an open mind when reading other poet's writings. There's no need to get on the offensive. It's just poetry. And poetry is an expression of oneself or one's idea about something. I'd love to read your work and see how you express yourself. Poets vary in their writings: one poem may be sweet whereas another may be sleezy as you call it. It's nothing to get upset about. Just appreciate poetry for what it is -- poetry. And stick around. You might learn something. Goodness knows, I sure have.

THIS NOT POETRY
THIS A CRUDE PEICE OF WRITTING IT HAS NO BUSSINESS ON THIS SITE THERE ARE YOUNG PEOPLE ON HERE, I WOULD NEVER ADVOCATE CENSORSHIP, BUT PERSONEL RESPONSABILTY
I DO ADVOCATE AND APPARENTLY YOU HAVE NONE. -

hey jhage
I put adult as a catagory for this poem which indicates the poem is not for children. In addition you can block any poet and make the site age approprite. But i have a feeling the issue isn't children, your offended by the poem. so if you don't like my work then don't read it, but please, your not my parent so spare me the morality lesson. How about practicing some tolernce, or don't, if you want to offer a critique on the writing fine if not, then bug off.

hey rhet
thanks for the comment, i'm glad i mislead or made the reader relax to set it up. however maybe i didnt make it clear Jamie turned down the proff. he 'stalled for time" and after that the prof never came around. bi-cycling wasnt a double entendre.
dave -
hey dave,
i love how you mislead the reader in a few of your poems as this was quite mundane until you mention the prof/poof wanting to suck jamie..i like how you describe fine wine tasting like its the glass of wine thats getting sucked off...also the bi-cycling suggests to me that Jamie didnt mind too much,he probably swung both ways himself...the ending makes the poem for me,although i left school at 15 1/2 years old so i know nothing of the desires of wanting to suck the proverbial professors pecker or kissing his proverbially hairy butt

Predicktable Predickament!
Its all very Greek I guess, Dave, a student potentially led astray by the beguiling wiles of an older mentor. I trust the rejection of extra-curricular fellatio didnt affect Jamies grades negatively?
And with a family aswell you say? I suppose that would make the Professor a BI-cyclist. heheh
Cheers, mate.

Never trust a.....
Hey Ochs, it's amazing what the average undergrad can pick up with a good teacher giving the lectures - I can just see the light bulb coming on above Jamie's head. Never trust a cyclist. Especially one who calls you 'Professor'. Good stuff. >W< -

hey W
f##ken people with there ulterior motives. if you cant trust your professor who can you trust?
