If I Were a Gal

If I were a gal and the world my oyster All the macho men I'd gladly cloister Give me a man who will hold my purse Write me poetry verse by verse A sensitive man with a gentle soul Who knows all the words to Rock & Roll Who helps with the kids and then does the dishes Who caters to my every whim and all wishes Give me a man with no alcohol thirst Who know in his heart family always comes first Who right from the start has no eyes for another And maybe, just maybe, gets along with my mother Yes, if I were a gal, I wouldn't change much If I had a guy with a gentleman's touch There wouldn't be anything else I would need If I were a gal indeed mdailey 3/6/12

An excellent entry for the contest. Loved every cotton pickin word. It's so true, that's the kind of man we all want but it seems when we get him we don't seem to realize it. Great job here. God Bless and thanks for the kind words about My First Car. It's a true story. JB

wonderful! i love the rhymes you've chosen ("oyster" and "cloister" is a gem!) and the examples you've given.
