The Perfect Ladies Man

It's not easy to be trim and fit
   so I just let my body go
As for drive and motivation
   I'd rather take things slow

Good looks are hard to come by
   That's why I didn't try
Regarding top grades and all
   I gave up in junior high

Ah, but when it comes to laziness
   They say I'm 'King of the Hill'
And regarding plain incompetence
   At that I'm highly skilled

So, ladies: If you seek the 'perfect man'
   I'd make some other plans
But if you'd like to start from scratch
   I may be the perfect catch

Lol! Gershon, I’m happy I came across this humorous write. I could just picture some guy on the couch with a remote in one hand and a beer in the other hand.I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis
