Avian In Nature

I once went out on a blind date But that'll never happen again A not so pleasant experience When I was set up by a friend He said, "She has but one problem," "I noticed as she crossed the street," "It's avian in nature, because" "She has what you'd call crows feet!" I said, "Well I'm no spring chicken," "And I'm a little weathered myself" So I grabbed hold of that comment And put it on my "So what" shelf! I admit that I was nervous Knocking on the door of her place But was most, pleasantly surprised When I saw her angelic face! She was gorgeous from head to knee But how was I suppose to know Below that, I was shocked to see, She did have the feet of a crow!

That was great fun to read this morning, Pat. You should write limericks. The form and humor would suit you well.
