Poem
Random Chance by Rick Rucker Should your love life be selected by Randon Chance? Is that any way to find True Romance? Doesn't it mean so much more, Than casually changing your home's decor? Tell everyone, that you are looking, That, for one, only, you are cooking! In the search, enlist all your friends, Tell them what you hope for, when the search ends, Try all of the venues, even electronic, Sign up for the dating sites, some quite iconic. I personally favor this method, you see, Because it is how my True Love found Me! I signed up, and posted an ad, I wrote it, and checked it, thought it not bad. I more or less expected five to ten replies, When I got more than two hundred, imagine my surprise! Why did I get more than ten? Why write to me, not other men? Now I had a problem , what could I do? I cancelled the service, now forlorn, and blue! Two hundred dates, more than twenty eight a day, Seemed a more dangerous game, than I wanted to play! I started to try to cut down the list, Anyone that wrote an answer whose meaning I missed, I would quickly toss in the trash, I would do it with feeling, even quite rash! Finally, at the end of the quest, I had done all I could, had done my level best! I still had twenty five that were left, At least, with that number, a pile of letters I could heft! I set a goal, looking back, quite naive, To find someone, who would, my loneliness, relieve! That might not sound that hard to do, But I was looking for My Love Most True! I wasn't looking for a Date, But rather, my next Life Long Mate! With half the applicants remaining there, I chanced upon My Lady Fair! Not just a feast for my eyes, She stole my Heart, a rude surprise! I had decided to be quite objective, I guess my Heart didn't get that directive! An understaterment, to say I was Smitten! Quite Fatally, by The Love Bug, bitten! For some time, we have been going out, When she can't see me, I still jump and shout! I never thought I'd be again, The Very Happiest of Men! Now there is but one thing to do, To make the Fairy Tale come true. The Hawaiian Wedding Song, Andy Williams will sing, If I can but convince her to accept my Ring!
