All My Ex-Girlfriends

London. Un jeu d'esprit. Written in one sitting on the afternoon of 20 May 2014.

If you laid

All my ex-girlfriends

End to end

They might stretch as far

As that door

Over there.

If you put

All my ex-girlfriends

Together

In one room

What a dull party

It would be.

If you asked

All my ex-girlfriends

What they thought

Of me

Out of ten

I might get three.

If you looked at

All my ex-girlfriends

And wondered what

They saw in me

Then to be frank

I agree.

If you are one of

All my ex-girlfriends

Reading this

Feeling free

Then meekly I honour you

Who helped make me.
