Strings attached

Apply within

No reference needed.

Come as you are.

 

Can you get me……

Run here

Fetch that

Now?

 

You are a compliant chappie

Always close at hand

To jump at each command

I love how you retrieve so well.

 

I love you with all my heart

I have dreamt of a man like you

You are everything I want in a man

Handy, at the ready, willing to please.

 

I will love you always

I’ll care for you in times of illness

I’ll nurse you on your deathbed

Just sign this waver of responsibility.

 

So my love I am yours

As you are mine in everyway.

Sorry about the attached strings

The knots, they are unbreakable.

    Wow! I live where you went with this!

    Funny read but so cynical! I suppose it can go both ways for both sexes. Love the use of the term “chappy”! “You retrieve so well” makes me think of the lovely Golden Retriever dog. Maybe that’s the better match for people with stings attached?

    Always doing & never getting anything in return (not even a simple appreciation or thank you) can be quite a burden on the spirit.
    What a relief when the strings finally give & one is set free!

    Really messes with a person’s head. I’m familiar with people like that. Good to get out, the earlier the better! Thanks, Michael.

    attatched strings are always a burden … any relationship without expectations is the best relationship!!

    Ahh, those strings attached, those attached strings. It’s best, if the attacher isn’t an expert in knot tying; then the attachee might be able to loosen those strings.

  9. Once hooked, hard to break free, relationships with stipulations hard to tackle. Good response to the prompt Michael.

    She has definitely taken the reins–er–strings–in this relationship!
    I like to think that my husband (second, and, as far as I’m concerned, the last) stays with me because he wants to, not because of strings.
    I stayed in my first marriage for quite some time because of strings.
    I used the prompt to write a continuation of an ongoing story.
