The Writing on the Wall

Dear John,

I am writing this on the back of this match book because there is no other paper in your house and in fact that is one reason why I am leaving you. How can a person live their life without notepads and notebooks. For God sakes I could not even find an old receipt. You have no books! But I digress. It is not you it is me. I was stupid. All I saw was a pretty face and great abs. You have a six pack! I admit I was blinded by your beauty for a while. I had never been with a guy who looked like you before and it was fun and sexy, but I need more. I need someone who will argue with me about politics and religion and world events and why batman is a way better superhero then Superman. I want someone who reads. Reads a lot and wants to talk about those books. I want someone who is willing to make fun of himself and do stupid stuff like dance in the middle of the Museum of Art even when there is no music. Do you even know where the Museum of Art is? Really it is me not you. I am sure there is some woman out there for you it just is not me. I need more! Good-bye John it was fun but I have got to think about myself here.

Have a good Life,

Sylvia

Dear Sylvia,

I am writing this on the last few pieces of toilet paper I had left. Think I can get you to introduce me to your hot friend Tanya?

Daft John


Must of been a large matchbook to be sure. Enjoyed your post. I find myself in the same quandary very often, although of the fairer sex.

She got all this on the back of a matchbook? Wow! It's always hard to break up with someone even when you know it's right. Good read!

Granted, he needed more courage because of his limitations, but that was about the only way Batman was superior to Superman.

Great post.

That was super! It kinda made me think about the current situation I find myself in. Here's to intellect combined with good looks.

Perfect wording, some matchbook...I know it was for frieplace matches!

This was tart, witty, and engaging... I really enjoyed it -- and you must have the smallest handwriting on the planet. Incidentally, it's Batman. ;)
