Silver Singles Date

I finally hit 70, a widow. Dating, maybe I'll get thrown a bone. I am tired of waiting and being alone. A little nervous, I couldn't wait. I primp, as I look in the mirror Wearing a new dress, hoping it's a success. I make sure my silver hair is in place And perfect eyebrows I trace. I practice a wink, a smile, a wave, A greeting, as I near the mirror. I look out the window very impatient. Finally he drives up and knocks on the door. I rush, open the door and chuckle. Wearing highwater dark pants, Orange, gray and white strip fuzzy socks, And funny yellow crocs decorated In Snoopy and Woodstock And letter charms spelling out ~Take me, I'm yours~ I told him he had the wrong address. I should have known. I'm okay on my own. I like my own company I can survive without having a man. 6/21/2021

This was sad and funny... and sad and funny. Perfectly written... I so agree.. wrong adress... :) You are okay... Prayers for your day, now and forever. Lovely roses and flowers at your door, for no reason, except that you deserve them. Ann

I love the lines that begin with" In Snoopy and Woodstock" with the letters spelling out-Take me I'm yours" (I think I had those letters, which always fell out) Funny images all the way through. It would be fun to draw your poem as it reads. I loved it so much!
