The woman Carl thought was
the woman of his dreams
told Carl he was too nice for her
so Carl turned into an SOB
treated her badly hoping he’d
be bad enough, good enough
for her
but he didn’t make the cut
she saw through his fakeness
and he couldn’t keep treating her
badly
he’s was just too nice a guy
and eventually she went away
found a bona fide bad guy
who treated terribly
they probably lived unhappily
ever after
moral of the story, it’s not worth
trying to change yourself for anyone
don’t waste you time and love
on someone who doesn’t appreciate
you for who you are
and stay away from women who
say you are too nice for them.
Bob Boyd
