[hometext] => A woman's vision is a man's mirage...
[bodytext] => No matter your calling, your station, or place; When a woman’s in love, she’ll make a space; I learned this one night at a women’s convention.. “So how would you win him?” I cautiously mentioned; I hoped I could backtrack the steps just so far; To tell men at last how you got where you are! Funny and candid, the answers surprised me! To rise to the challenge, here's what some advised me: “If he were a Shoemaker; I'd heel his sole!” “If he drove an ambulance; I'd pay his tolls!” “If he was Infallible; I’d made mistakes!” “To love a Mortician; I’d keep him a wake!” “If I loved a Realtor; I’d list my house; And sell him the joys of owning a spouse! --------------------------------------------------------- Do you see the pattern? The key to the latch? Well, that was the moment things started to hatch! I gathered my notes, and had a fine time; Applying their formula; line after line! So pull up your ego; darken the lamp; And see what goes on in the enemy camp! Where love’s a chameleon, bereft of discretion; With keys to the locks of many professions! (A bow to the ladies who wrote all this stuff; Whatever I paid you it wasn’t enough!) ---------------------------------------------------------- To win a Conductor; she'd chase his caboose! For love of a Hangman? Loosen his noose. If he were a Meatpacker; she'd cure his ham; Bring home the bacon, and jelly his lamb! She'd be your fan; if you were a Stripper! (If you wore the pants; then she'd be the zipper!) A Sculptor she'd replicate deftly in bisque; A Broker so loved, would never know risk. If you were a Cabbie; she'd think you a hack; (But nevertheless, would not give you back!) A Waiter so loved ,would never more wait! A Matchmaker, justly, would seal his own fate! A Baker once kneaded would certainly rise; For love of a Con Man; she'd whisper sweet lies! Disloyal Housekeepers she would de-spouse; (And do them one better by keeping the house)! To win a Landscaper; she'd shamelessly park! For love of a Welder; become Joan of Arc! To win a Cartoonist, she'd boop-boop-a-doop! And EWE, for an Exorcist; spit green pea soup! An Usher would dwell in her heart front and center; A Bouncer would have to induce her to enter! If you were a Cowboy, she'd straddle your fences; And if you made perfumes; she'd come to your scentses! Her Chauffer she'd cuddle while publically riding; But loving a Thief would keep her in hiding! To capture a Jockey; she'd stay the course; (With or without the help of the horse!) To honor her Teller; she never would tell! And were you the Devil; she'd buy stock in Hell. ----------------------------------------------------------- She loves you, God help you, whoever you are; You couldn’t dissuade her with feathers and tar! And short of endowing your soul to the Reaper; At this point, perhaps you'd do well just to keep her.. She won’t take much space (you can have the garage) And all you need do is believe the mirage! At worst, given time, she might help you find; That goofy young hero you left far behind. Cause whatever it is that makes you her star; Trust me; You’re everything she thinks you are.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
