The 7 Months Begins Again

Cameron, Buck, (😍)
Brandon One and Brandon Two,
Bryan, DC, and You-Know-Who (😔),
Kevin, Flanigan, Richard, and John...
Fuck me! (🤦🏿‍♀️)
To be frank, I'm omitting some (🤷🏿‍♀️)
I've ran out of fingers (😢)
I've started counting toes (💩)
"I love you" and "I love you too" (🤥)
The most redundant stories ever told
Maybe the next one will be The One (🎻)
A love to rival the fables (🙄)
Or it will be a farce (🤡)
Another tally added to the stable (🙅🏿‍♀️)
Or maybe, just maybe...
The pattern will be recognized
I'll follow Maxine's plan
There'll be self-evaluation and growth
And an idle profession won't be spoken again (🤞🏾)

"...to be able to laugh at yourself is maturity."
