He Was the Man of Her Dreams
He Was the Man of Her Dreams
By Elton Camp
In finding a mate, Marilyn wasn’t doing well
Whether a man was suitable, she couldn’t tell
For she was far too quick to become infatuated
With almost any sort of man whom she dated
Marilyn was beautiful, but that wasn’t enough
As a wife, men wanted one made of better stuff
But instead of trying to learn and improve herself
She was convinced that of a mate she’d be bereft
So it was in an online dating service she enrolled
And she found a man whose virtues she extolled
No matter that he was words & face on a screen
One to whom she had never talked or even seen
That all of it was only a pretense it didn’t occur
Marilyn fell in love as he was the man for her
She learned, in finances, he was in a dire strait
So she sent him money without having a date
In a few months, when her funds were all gone
The man disappeared and Marilyn was all alone
