Anita Lovelace Poet Couplet

The Perfect Man

The perfect man would always bathe
Before making love he would shave
Take out the trash without a reminder
To my pet cat, he would be kinder

The perfect man would sense my mood
He would try to help any way he could
He would always choose to take me out
He would never wear that old camo cap

The perfect man would not snore
Or scratch in public, or me ignore
He would only go hunting when
I had things to do with my friends

The perfect man would never fart
He would love me with all his heart
He would try to please me every minute
And prove to me his heart was in it

The perfect man would make lots of money
Then hand it over, “say here you go, honey”
He would buy me a brand new ride
And drive that old truck of his with pride

The perfect man could cook and clean
He would never, ever treat me mean
He would do all the things that I like
He’d never tell me to go take a hike

The perfect man wouldn’t pick a fight
Or make me watch hunting shows at night
He would know what gave me pleasure
He would buy me things that I would treasure

I haven’t found the perfect man
I‘m not so sure that I ever can
So I guess I will have to settle for you
Your less than perfect, but you will do!
