Real life?

I once had a boyfriend from Diss
Who was too  backward to give me a kiss.
He gazed with round eyes,
When I told him lies
Which rather depleted my bliss.

I never tell lies to my lovers
Or are they just  birds undercover?
I never succumb
Which makes all feel glum,…
But love is not worth all the bother.

I prefer conversation to sex
And I far  prefer money to cheques.
We all have our view
On what we should do.
I even prefer real life to texts
