When I was sixteen the man for me was one with size ten feet The thought of a man with feet that big was really rather sweet And being a modern Millie, a really with it chick I naturally equated big feet with an even bigger… heart And this man with a big heart would treat me like a star We'd yellow cab it everywhere… he doesn't have a car When I was eighteen men I desired would have a gorgeous smile He'd be sensitive and caring, and steal my heart with style But when I saw the braces on the one who's song I'd sung I changed my mind and hoped for a man who was just well… balanced Then this balanced man of mine, would love me in the tub The bubbles in my relationship… are when we're at the pub. At twenty-one my heart changed, I sought a man who worked out He would be confident, have big "pecs" and know what he's about For this hulking man I would, inanely, want to dote on Hoping to get close to his tensile, rounded… nails His lovely nails would treat me right and never claw or scratch And I awaken every morning to watch him… fondling his patch Now much older, wiser, I don't appearances stress I just want a man who can understand and accept my PMS A man who'll travel with me, through sunshine or through reef And if it not too much to ask a man with all his teeth. < !signature--> "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- [This message has been edited by Kethry (edited 09-26-2000).] |

This is a great poem, I love it. Told you I'd find it hard to find the words to give this the praise it deserves. So I'll just say this really made me smile and go to bed with a grin. Marsha |

Janet Marie, thanks for the giggle and the compliment, coming from you it's high praise indeed. Martie, Hey I was serious ...glad you saw the funny side of it.

Kethry - Terrific misdirection and recovery in this poem. It's great the way you made everything work. I especially like the structure. You are too much, girl. |
