Out of My League

Creative, intelligent, some would say wise. Beautiful with a personality twice her size. She’d never give me a second look, I’d just as soon sit here and read my book. Maybe she loves sports, that would be a surprise.

Maybe you should start reading your book nearer to the sports ground, Bill, give you catch to find out . . . ; )

She'd probably fall for a charmer like you!

Made me smile, Line. I was a charmer, but most girls just wanted me to be their friend. lol Thanks for the comment. Hugs, Bill

Well, you never know. She just might like that game. Some do and some don't. I enjoyed reading this one. It has good flow and rhyme. Way to go. Your visit to my page was delightful. Sara

lol It was Jr. High, scared to even ask her to dance. Have a great week! M.L. Bill

Very enjoyable, Bill. She might not be out of your league, after all!! Probably both of you are creative, and know how and when to break the ice :) Regards // paul

I like this a lot, Bill and who knows, maybe she DOES like sports.

Bill Baker

You never know. Met her 8 Years later, and she says she had a crush on me the next year after that dance. lol Probably just being nice, but still fun to think it was possible. lol Happy Valentine's Day, Andrea. Bill

Most of the time, I headed straight in for the rejection. lol Thanks for commenting, Shirley. Smiles ~ Blessings, Bill

Just a teenage boy that saw all girls in their best light. Always in love with someone (at least in my mind). Thanks for the comment, Karen. Had my 77th birthday yesterday, so have got my usual reading in yet. :-) Bill

Great poem Bill…..did you marry her??? Always a pleasure Bill. Debx

Bill Baker

Nope, wise, intelligent, and beautiful, but not overpowering personality. She just personable enough to be a great conversationalist and welcome wherever she goes. :-) I'm the lucky one that found her just as she was coming into her own.

Nope, when just a young whipper snapper. (a mischievous young person) Have a fun day, Deb. Hugs, Bill

Maybe look elsewhere, you sounds like a very good down to earth kind of guy, and she sounds to be full of her own importance and always shows her better side, the one she wants everyone to always see, beautiful she might be and wise also, but personality twice her size worries me, does she laugh a lot? Give it a shot, you are the best , put her to the test and perhaps, you will be surprised! Blessings hugs,Jennifer.

Good advice, Jennifer. Thanks for the visit and comment, Bill

You should probably just give it a shot, because you'll never know for sure otherwise. :D

Thanks, Evelyn. You're right. Hugs, Bill
