Speaking of Perfection --

I'm not striving for Perfection, I told my lover
  Who wants to be perfect? she shuddered
Not I, came my reply. I never did covet it
  I'm not even perfectly imperfect, you know
    Not yet ~ What of it?

Though perfectly wrote, Gershon . . . : )

I'm lucky my wife does not require perfection! Huey Lewis said it well in Perfect World: "Nobody's perfect, not even a perfect fool / But if you'll have faith in me, I'll keep faith with you". Wonderfully imperfect musings on the subject of perfection, my friend.

I like that Huey Lewis quote. Quite apropos. Thank you so much for the insightful comment, John! :) gw

You have a real attitude...lol! Shrugging your shoulders, imperfectly I suppose.

Yes, indeed. I've picked up my B.A. (Bad Attitude) and my M.A. (Mad Atttitude)* on the highway of life... *These are aka Baditude and Maditude. Never did finish my Ph.D, however. (Paranoiacally-Hysteric-Dysfunction). Oh well, something to shoot for in the afterlife. :)

HelloI am not perfect and never will be. I just try to do the best I can in what I do. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Hi, Darlene! I'm with you 1,000% Perfection is farther away every day! lol. I too just do the best I can. Thank you so much, Gershon

We can strive for perfection, but few achieve it, Gershon. Like the way your poem ended with "what of it?" Most ladies don't have great expectations :) Hugs, Carolyn

Ha, ha! Certainly no great expectations for their husbands (at least after the reality of the marriage sets in). lol. Thanks, Carolyn
