Notes About The Poem

For everyone who can't find Significant Other!

Seeking My Lady

Although retired and glad to be "job free"
I've still places to go, things to do, people to see...

When I get back home the first 'Order of Biz'
Is seek out where Sweetie Lady is

I start my search through 1st floor rooms
Kitchen; computer niche; both bedrooms

If searching fails to show where she went
I go down to check our cold basement

She doesn't go up to the model airplane attic
So all that points to my one remaining tactic

Explore the 'Wilderness': to wit:
The lot on which our house doth sit

Although the view across the yard would seem to be quite clear
She has amazing ability in it to disappear

So then I have to raise my voice
Like a pet owner, but I have no choice

I plead "Please call to me, my Sweetie Dear!
I cannot tell if you are here!"

She emerges from some bush, with pruner
How can I not have seen her sooner?

No matter, now that she's in sight 
I only want to hug her tight!

Love of my Life: searching I DON't dread 
Is when I search for you at night
Close by me...in our bed!
