Shirley Hawkins Poet Rhyme

Court In the Net

You don't know me
It's only a facade that you see
We have never met before
I may be someone you abhor

I may have habits that you hate
Not a woman you'd choose to mate
These thoughts are very foreign to me
I've lived in a different time you see

When I was young, so long ago
Boys and girls took time to know
Each other as friends
Sometimes romance blossomed in the end
