Un-Red

Her profile said she’s auburn
So I right swiped my phone
Her hair ablaze like autumn 
I guess I should’ve known

I've always been attracted
To hair so flaming red
My love must be enacted 
We rushed upstairs to bed

She liked to leave the light on
But red was not her tone
The truth came out in what I call
The Goldilocks Zone

LOL. Those eyebrows give it away every time. LOL. Methinks The Goldilocks Zone is something else altogether, Terry. I won't keep it from you...google it. I had to.

I reckon the Goldilocks zone is a fallacy. My porridge wasn’t too hot and it wasn’t too cold, yet all that was in it was a fly... and that was dead. Science? Phewey! Thanks for the ‘LOL’. Terry
