Man Wanted, Boys Need Not Apply I'm looking for a man but not just any man will do The man that I'm looking for has to be honest and true It's essential that he is reliable he has to arrive on time For when I go out to dinner I do actually wish to dine And he mustn't be a pincher I don't enjoy those little nips Tell me where's the thrill of having vices instead of fingertips So I'm seeking a man but he has to have some quality And I hope you realise that this man isn't meant for me? I'm seeking a special someone with some style and charm Someone not ordinary to match the girl who's on his arm He has to have an aura of bravura he really must be a man So anyone who's a little unsure I'll ask you please to scram I'm not looking for Mr. Perfect I don't think he's around And if he was I doubt if his feet would touch the ground No I'm searching for a genuine man with a very nice manner And it'll be a bonus if he knows how to use a standard spanner I'm searching for a guy I've got a few basic requests I'd like A staying type yes, I don't want one who's forever taking a hike He doesn't have to be rich I don't need him rolling in dosh And not one who's far too precocious or just a little too posh He's got to have a sense of humour, not be solemn and grave A man who knows how to have fun or even have a bit of a rave I'll keep on trying to locate him, he's out there somewhere No! He's not for me, he's for Paula so you were wrong there Yes he's for my friend Paula a nicer maiden you'd never see Come on, honestly! You surely didn't think he was for me My basic requirements are nowhere nearly quite so high All I need is someone who makes my spirit take to the sky If he has a smile that makes me want to dive right on in And if his eyes twinkle while his voice leads me into sin I'll take him and wrap him up, but then I'm not looking for me I need him for my sweet Paula, I'm asking Hey are you free?

I'm sure if the right guy meets all your standards, Paula will be one happy lady... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

Richard, I'll be right over with the tape measure, (to see if you measure up to specifications) and if so I'll send Paula to do the personal interview. I'm glad it brought a smile love. She said I could do one for her, but after the couple I did for P T, she made me promise to be nice. Take care Mushy Marsha Persephone love, I wasn't to particular surely! But if he fetches up here, I'll send him over to her. But perhaps I shouldn't use our Royal Mail (Well you've seen him and it's hardly the answer to a young girls dream is it.! I'll be carted off to the Tower now for sure. ) Take care kid Majestic Marsha Kethry sweetie, I liked yours a lot, it had style and wit, whereas this is such a ... well don't you think it needs a bit?? Quite likely love. So while I'm measuriing up the applicants, do you want me to set aside a couple for you. Take care love be good but not too ...... Slushy Mushy 'Deer, well, what can I say, except mais qui m'sieur, I know it's because I said you were a man of taste and discernment right! So Lng Jhn doesn't like class then love? I thought he'd have his hands full anyway, I've heard that mermaids are very tricky. (Or is it because Oh right, I'm sorry I never was the brightest and the best. )Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Mushy, can you save me a half dozen. I tend to wear them out fairly quickly. Still love this poem, despite your own disparagement of it. HuGS and smiles Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Kethry love, how about a round dozen that gives you one a month. Sort of a play friend of the month!! (Yes I was going to say that,!! but then I thought don't, You know me far too well love) I'll make sure they're all fit and well travelled, naturally you don't want any that aren't. Take care love Merry Christmas Slushy Mushy P T, for you kid I'll try But don't blame me if you don't get the results. Mmmm now if only you hadn't turned your nose up at the girl from Radiology. I know she has a moustache, but she could've shaved it off.  Sorry love I couldn't resist. I'll be good. Seriously love have a great Christmas Take care Mushy And I'll get to that ad for you Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Kaile, well actually I haven't actually had a chance to organise the preliminary interviews but when I do then Paula gets to make the final choice. For obviously she'd want to make sure that the successful applicant has 'it'Take care Mushy And thank you < !signature-->Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 12-27-2000).] |
