Getting Personal Ad Poem
As a seamstress I'll mend
all your rips and your tears.
As a nurse I'll console
all your hurts and your cares.
As a poet I'll woo you
with verse and with song
if you bring me flowers
with stems that are long.
As a writer I'll help you
plan all your dreams
as long as they're honest
and not full of schemes.
My clown will surprise you
from laughter to tears
if you'll be supportive of
my goals, dreams, and cares.
On the beach we'll ride horseback,
feel the sand 'neath our feet,
the wind in our hair,
count the stars as a treat.
The price of cologne
is not what's important.
The scent or aroma
must enhance the moment.
Creative cooking is
fun done by two
and then perhaps visit
our folks at the zoo!
I'm past 55
you may be younger or older,
be cuddling height
to place my head on your shoulder.
If the length of your hair
is long I can braid it.
But, if it is gone,
it's okay if you can't grow it.
Your best assets
should come from within.
If you put on a front
our friendship will soon end.
Please take it slow
too fast it is fleeting,
too slow it is boring
and you won't be worth keeping.
Widowed more than 12 years
I'm alone but not lonely.
Extravert that I am
I still enjoy my quiet moments.
If you're exciting, adventurous
I'll give you a chance
if you prove to me
you believe in romance.
Seredipity, spontaneity,
or planning ahead,
please call me or write me
don't mess with my head.
If you answer this ad
I'll know you're adventurous
with a great sense of humor
and hopefully ambitious!
