Fathers Love For Money

He is old and used up, dried up. She is young, healthy, wonderful. They would truly be a great match. For first time wife looks at husband Feeling his lust for the money Bad marriage could give the family She will marry for love she says She will be poor the father screams However mother has her way

Good story. My own money went down into the pit of a necessary divorce. Now I am remarried and happy again. The power of love.

Ah. Love. For richer or poorer. You may not have a lot but if you got love you got it all. Super poem.

But some young women DO love old men - and vice-versa! A GI once explained to me his reason for never going out with a woman under 65, "They know what they are doing, they have experience, they don't have periods, they don't complain, and they are always grateful!" Aloha! Rico

Thank you Kim. It was for a contest entitled "should young women marry old men?" Only two of us entered so he finally eliminated it. It was a dumb idea.
