Tattoo

Jim sealed his love for his first girlfriend , Jo
as many star struck lovers do,
by showing the world he had found his soul mate
and getting himself a tattoo.
Their relationship failed, so for other fish he sailed,
since he didn't like being alone,
and to save on the cost of a tattoo removal
his next girl would have to be Joan.
They lasted ten days and then went separate ways
so Jim continued along with his plan,
he'd have learned, you would think but new girl and new ink,
as he courted his next girl, Joanne.
Sadly now he's paying the price
for being a serial flirter,
he's now searching all of the dating sites
for someone called  Joannetteroberta.

He should have married each girlfriend, that way in the divorce, she would get the house, the car and the Tattoo LOL Loved this!

I've considered having the name of my true love as a tattoo- 'Me' would be quite cheap to have done :) . Thanks for dropping by, Arthur. Regards, Viv
