A Down To Earth Type Elf

When you get right down to it
That's exactly where I'll be
A truly down to earth kinda guy
Pretence is not for me

Others try to show a bravado
They think it's what ladies like
It's very true some of  'em do
But more like the tender type

When a man cries, the girlies swoon
Cuddle you to make you better
The mother instinct at surely at work
Right on down to the letter

It isn't difficult, should come natural
Just gotta try being yourself
Girlies aren't looking for a hero type
Just a down to earth type elf

So now you know how to score
A big hit with all the dear ladies
Just be yourself, stop trying so hard
You'll find the one, no maybes

Poet Tacito Date: 10/15/2013 9:36:00 AM "I need a HERO...blah blah blah...to the edge of the night! And he's gotta be strong...etc" Sorry, I lost control there...the song attacked my brain as I read this. In ANY case, yes, be yourself. Always. =) Wonderful!

Well in most cases anyway! WOOP!

Carol Eastman Date: 10/15/2013 8:57:00 AM Mike spent a lot of time lately up in the air... On ladders cleaning out the gutters and the mess from the fallen limb... He made great friends with the Gutter Frogs... It started raining and before he got back down to earth... They preformed their a rendition of singing in the rain for him... When he sleeps they serenade him... Isn't that cute! Pay attention Dragon! They worked together and not one flame erupted... SEE! It can happen! Hey! Leave the Gutter Frogs alone! They're not competition! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/15/2013 9:06:00 AM Sounds like you have a good guy there. Tell him to take care on that ladder! Hope you guys all have a great day! Hugs xoxox
