The Search Continues!

You are seeking a lady doctor, just one to cure all your ills
I hate to tell you this but you'd be better off with some pills
I've tried to advertise for you, and I've even told some lies
But P T you must see they're not all swarming over you like flies
There isn't a queue of women, no one is standing in a line
And truly it's not my fault I've told everyone that you're fine

I've not told anyone about that rather dodgy car you drive
I'm just checking, but this lady, does she really have to be alive
Because I can get my hands on a doll that only needs a pump
It was one of the doctors exs apparently he was having a slump
But now he's up and running and Rosealie is going spare
I thought she mught suit you P T she would always be there

She could keep you company, and she doesn't need a date
She'd never answer back and she'd never slam your gate
You wouldn't need to buy her chocolates or even a drink
She's very low maintenance, she's far better for you I think
You wouldn't have to write her poetry, no verses of desire
Maybe it would be wiser to keep her well away from fire

But if she doesn't suit you then my search will go on
I'll keep on looking unless you think that my search is done
I'm trying hard to be helpful I don't want you to be all alone
How about I try one of those services that use the telephone
Some of those look interesting although they're really not for me
But P T they seem excellant shall I phone one just to see

Except that they cost a fortune and it seems to be so cold
I can guess they'd be forever asking you if Sir wants to hold
Well of course you do otherwise you'd just put the thing down
I'd have thought they know how much they make us frown
When you're seeking some company to lift your mouth up
What you need is some tea love, hold on I'll fix you a cup

So the options I've come up with are a dolly or that phone
Okay love don't shout at me, yes I know it lowers the tone
Alright then I'll keep looking for someone who will do you
But you are so very picky and I'm not sure what I should now do
It's no use my advertising I told you what happened then
If I fix you up with someone it would help if I knew just when

P T if you like I'll go and pick you someone perfect for you
I'll wrap her up and send her and which address is that to?
I'll give her strict instructions that she should be very good
She must give you a Christmas gift just the way she should
I'll ask her to give you a little kiss as a small gift from me
And to make you smile right there under the Christmas tree

So now I'm down to phones and dolls eh?? I just got to get another agent...sorry I hate to have to can ya...but the results I was expecting are just not materializing....shame you know.... I thought you were quite a decent agent at first then you just decided to do things as you saw them and not the way I need them....oh I do feel bad. The only thing I have to be thankful for is the fact that you sent a picture of that one, you know the one that was....... knock kneed, pigeon toed, cross-eyed, bald, no teeth, one ear missing, a huge eyebrow that ran all the way around her head, a nose big enough to have it's own heart and lungs, nose hairs long enough to braid, lips that look like petals(I mean pedals on a break), skin all red and fuzzy looked like my grandma's parlour curtains....
well! Marsha I want to thank you for that picture I keep it out in my back yard to keep the bears out of my garbage!!

My dear woman that's not what I'm looking for!! I said  DOCTOR!! not SHOCKER!!

If I whisper, will you listen?...
I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound.

P T, I'm glad it found you love, she was all for coming over and making your day, but I said NO, you don't want to take him unawares. (But she wanted to take you anyway she could), I don't think she was right for you love, I really don't. How about a dental hygienist, she isn't very pretty, but she has a great smile?             
                         
Martie, glad it gave you a smile  
                
Circe, thank you love, gave you a giggle did it.
                      
Richard, thank you very muchly, if you want the begining of the story you'll have to look up a previous poem. It's called Just One Lady Doctor.
                        
Kari, Thank you very muchly, glad it got you laughing.
Take care
               Majestic Marsha

Paula love, what did I do? I swear I'm innocent, I wasn't there, it was my day off, I didn't take that call, and I didn't do it. (Well that's all my standard excuses) Now what's wrong with that! I've tried Paula you know I've tried,   So shall I give up? Or never say die! I know P T has sacked me as his agent, but I hate to give up so soon.  
(Paula, he listens to you ask him to let me go on looking.   )
Take care love
