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
