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!

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

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 8/6/2014 7:23:00 AM

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

Robert Lindley

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!!!

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 8/6/2014 7:17:00 AM

If he is doing all that baking, when is he going to have time to find a lady???

Casarah Nance

Date: 8/5/2014 7:34:00 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 :)

Tim Smith
Date: 8/5/2014 8:03:00 PM

You guy want to share me ?.....lol....

Casarah Nance
Date: 8/5/2014 7:51:00 PM

That is true :) ditto here, I guess we could share him if he found someone special.

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 8/5/2014 7:40:00 PM

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.

Tim Smith

Date: 8/5/2014 7:10:00 PM

Wow Richard this is fantastic...You have a good memory too my friend...dang I'm gonna have to bake you some cookies :)......A big hug Tim

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 8/5/2014 7:16:00 PM

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.
