Man Seeking Woman

The evening was just perfect
'Cause the moon was fresh and full
And the air was cool and dry
As I gulped down, my Red Bull

I was anticipating 
That I hope to make a score
As She meets my expectations
And perhaps a little more

I hope she's not a nerd
'Cause I'm really not that smart
And not a connaisseur
Cause I'm not much into art

But a woman down to earth
With those mutual desires
That can take a man of girth
And set his loins on fire

While sitting in Perrier's 
At this table that I picked
In the corner of the room
Should really do the trick

The waiters wear black ties
With a towel on each arm
Pouring wine from chilled bottles 
Surely adds to all my charm

Oh, There she is, what a beauty
And I can't believe, "On time"
She sure looks like a cutie
I'll have to make her mine

As she walks directly towards me
She displays a pleasant smile
This response from a woman
I haven't seen, in such a while

Then she sits a cross the table
And we talk 'til we turn blue
Satisfied in our hearts
That no one else could do

Then She said I must be honest
It's my sex, I had it changed
And I'm sorry if you hate me
I know this seems insane

I replied with a tear
As I reached out for her hand
It's all right my dearest love
I must confess, I'm not a man

Hi Jerry. Great twist at the end. Totally unexpected. Such a warm and heartfelt poem of life as it is today. The rhyme and meter and flow reminds of the great poets of old that understood the rhythm of the soul. Thanks for sharing, my friend.... Robert.
