How To Pick Up a Nature Girl

There’s nothing up my sleeve Nor inside my old hat But here inside this bag Is more than something that… Is not quite typical For a first date, but oh well About what seems to some As a bag from hell But no that’s not the case For hell is not the place That has filled this edgy bag That seems so out of place But she is not convinced I’m now an outsider As she dismisses me And my bag of spiders As unfit for a queen But that’s not whom I seek I just want to share life with Someone who loves to seek Nature in all its ways Be it flowers, dirt, or cider Until then, while seeking love I’ll bring my bag of spiders

You've got me laughing and laughing with that 'bag of spiders,' David. That's one way to 'smoke 'em out,' I'd say. Takes one heckuva woman to respond to those barking bugs! Keep me smiling, please! Cheers, Gershon
