Noone really wants to know

By Dejected_Worth

She asked "So, how many women HAVE you been with?"
And I chuckled with reluctance, I've already learned
never to answer that question. (She doesn't REALLY want to know)
"One less than tomorrow"  I finally answered, because this isn't poetry
This is a interview, at a dive bar. And I'm hoping for a few positions.

"I don't normally do this, you know. But you seem different."
They always say that, but never mention that you're only different
than whoever it is, who owns the second toothbrush in their bathroom.
But never ask her, because, trust me. (You don't REALLY want to know)

    The second stanza made me laugh heartily. That _is_ always the line, isn't it? I love exploring the nature of casual relationships... Observing some of the nuances, while still protecting most of the mystique. This piece did that well. Thanks for sharing.
