A Positive Poem

She sought a mate for one date;
he arrived with a suitcase.
She quickly gave him the boot
for he had no shoes.

Another man brought his van
filled with all his belongings.
She didn’t know what to think;
he said he lived there.

She gave cash to these homeless,
then changed her online profile.
“Wanted: Man with his own means;
I’ve donated mine.”

This actually happened! It was long ago, but I'd still give him the "boot" today. Thanks for your comments, dear. If I can make someone laugh, I get a wonderful feeling.
