Good Guys Finish Last

Ladies you say, all the good guys have been taken
I am here to say, you're completely mistaken
A sensitive guy, let me introduce him
He is down to earth and his name is Tim

A sense of humor, a poet as well
Stay away from those guys, that treat you like hell
They say that good guys, always finish last
He'll keep going, when others are half mast

He'll open your doors, make you feel like a Queen
Others won't notice, But with him you'll be seen
So line up ladies, he could be your prize
His smile has sparkle, he has bedroom eyes

He wants forever, not just a one night stand
If you play your cards right, he'll ask for your hand
You can have honest, excitement as well
If you're the right woman, he'll succumb to love's spell 


Dedicated to my friend Tim Smith, a true romantic.

That is b/c women LOVE mystery and bad guys are good at mystery. Mysteriously disappearing, mysteriously doing a lot of shady things. Not all women, but many just keep going back to that...I appreciate the time you spend on here. It is noble! I have been tracking points and studying the habits ~ You are LEGIT brother!~ Your efforts DO NOT Go un-noticed. Your poetry aint too shabby either! peace!

You are absolutely right, Richard. Tim seems to have all the qualities that the right woman would be happy to have in a man. Very commendable to write of a friend in that way. Well done, my friend.... Robert.

Thanks, Rick. It is MY maiden name...My mother was part Armenian as well, but she wanted me to keep my father's last name...Manassian...because she wanted the people to know that the talent came from MY side of the family! ;) Hugs

Thanks Eileen, on a seperate note I think it is sweet that you are using your mom's maiden name.

I suspect that Tim's future lady is waiting to be found. He being tha' hunter ,must go out to find the prize. That is what I did over ten years ago and the reward if successful is immense!! Very fine write you offered us my friend... BBBravoooo!!!! Tim, bake some cookies for me too as I am all in for you in your search my friend!!!
Lamoureux Avatar
August 6, 2014 at 7:17 AM
If he is doing all that baking, when is he going to have time to find a lady???
Nance Avatar
August 5, 2014 at 7:34 PM
Applause, Richard that is wonderful! What a fun poem, I do hope Tim finds the one, but then she'd take up all his time and he would be too busy with her than to be here, now that would be a tragedy. Great poem sweetie :)

August 5, 2014 at 7:51 PM
That is true :) ditto here, I guess we could share him if he found someone special.

I think we could all make the sacrifice for the pursuit of true love *lol*. I have found my true love and still have time for soup. She is also a source of much inspiration for me.

Ha, ha, I like chocolate chip. Glad you like it, I was going to add something about camping but I didn't want to narrow the field. Some ladies might not be as comfortable outdoors.
