Blind Date

American voice soft, she said my name,
Heart racing, I spun round,
And smiled, instantly glad I came.
A beauty, her accent thrilling me with its sound:
The girl I’d spent a lifetime searching for was found!

And remind again, what YOUR accent is. Americans find other English accents sexy! Nice one, Jack, and congrats.

Soup mail received and I sent you a response, Jack. I think I gave you the wrong info earlier on uploading a photo. The Soup mail explains. Thanks, buddy! Love, Carolyn
