Demise of the Sugar Daddy

He bought you candy when you were little; bought you clothes when you got older. Some of them even paid that rent.
Sigh, those were the days.
But it’s over now.
The sugar daddy, you know, that older man that showered you with “gifts” namely monetary for the pleasure of “knowing” you, is unemployed.
Blame it on a teetering economy.
The loose change and small bills normally kept in his front right pocket and the larger ones kept in his billfold are history, gone with the proverbial winds of the stock market.
(I feel a poem coming on)
His pimpish ways – at the phat crib – have been replaced with hotel stays.
Where his money once ran like a flood, he’s resorted to selling his blood.
But you can’t act all brand-new, or even in the know; for you sold yours a long time ago.
(end of poem)
But seriously, the give-get relationship has come to an end. NSA relationships are on the fritz. The new question: What can you do for you?
