Poem
Love, The Second Time Around by Rick Rucker Johnson was the President, He was the White House resident When I began to date, My Wife, who became The Late, To say that things are different now, It's like comparing a giraffe, and cow! My sister brought her home one day, I was getting ready to see a play. She told me later, that I was rude, But she thought me one cool dude! But what was really scary, She knew that we would marry! Fast forward, now, some forty years, Through the fog of Time, and all the tears, I wanted to find another mate, But my sister now lives out of state. I couldn't depend on her, No Second Wife would she confer! I was desperate to find a friend, A wife that would be with me 'til The End. I don't do well alone, And it's not the same to talk on the phone. I wanted someone the share my Life, Live with me, and become my Wife! I was almost catatonic, I decided to try dating, electronic! I met several women, had many dates, But didn't think any, potential Mates. Then, for breakfast, I did meet, A lovely woman, oh, so sweet! When I saw her, it was Magic, If I couldn't win her, it would be Tragic! On the date, I felt so lame, I saw me going down in Flame, But when I called her, a few days later, She agreed to become a serial dater! We've dated more than a dozen times, She thinks me funny, likes my rhymes. We have begun to make The Plan, In which, she is my Woman, I her Man! Call it Luck, or maybe Fate, I think I've found my Perfect Mate!
