Prayers Are Answered a First Date Contest

All dressed up in white blouse and skirt of plaid
Shoes were old and scruffy that made me sad
Curly hair brushed with satin bow
Looked my best mum said, she should know

Waited near the door for his knock
Opened it quickly, what a shock
Scruffy shirt, trousers with a hole
Sure his feet were sticking out of the sole

After wiping his nose on his sleeve….with
A toothy smile on face said should we leave
Told me I was too posh for him
Rather go with Shirley he said with grin

“Do that”  I cried with a nod
Promising to say 10 Hail Mary’s…. to thank God.

This is very cute Seren! ...yeah, avoid that guy!... saw your painting on simplesite, and now I see you did decide to use it as your avatar :)... very talented. I have to admire anyone who can both write and draw (and paint)... I'm a pretty good writer, but even my stick people look dis-functional ha ha!! May your inspiration keep flowing :)
