The First Time I Saw Her

The first time I saw her I was hooked She was stunning, beautiful, a looker I knew I had to have her in my life That she was available was the hooker. I knew her price was well beyond rubies But to me she was worth whatever the cost Totally smitten by her boldness, her appeal I bought my new Lamborghini automobile. SEVENTH PLACE WINNER Written June 23, 2021 for "Surprise Me" poetry contest sponsored by Charles Messina

I can only wish that I had the hard cash to purchase a luxury automobile like that. Not! But, it did make for a nice surprise ending. Thanks, Sam.

Wish you many enjoyable and safe miles on your new Lamborghini:) In my opinion, she's well worth it, and if she is, she will receive it. I think I like this great verse, too. Blessings and regards
