I try hard to compete
With younger glamour gals
When all the men I meet
Say "let's all just be pals"
Yet I have that certain something
That just can't be defined
It transcends all those sexy chicks
That they have wined and dined

My doorbell keeps on ringing
I get flowers by the score
From men who come by every night
A'knocking on my door
They never get enough
Of my particular brand of love
My talents are legendary
And I thank the Lord above

Sometimes I take on four or five
(There's never only one)
You should see their eyes light up
When I announce
"The lasagna's almost done!"

   Now I know where the addage "The quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach." came from... but some of us have a somewhat 'lower' opinion of that. (Wink, Wink) Whatever works for you, Milady. Great write... most amusing.
