Virtual Romance For Us Please

Romance novel Sally could never find a real cowboy Who was secretly a wealthy billionaire. Manga Margie searched in vain for the waiter who Was posing to be poor, hiding his riches in offshore accounts. Anime Alba never fell in love, because she spent her life Looking for the prince, who never appeared to give her a red rose. Worse yet, she never met her hilarious sidekick either. Lives that were wasted, waiting for non-reality that made Reality seem like a waste of their time. Real men gave up, after realizing they would never measure up. But at least Romance Novel Sally, Manga Margie, and Anime Alba Had their comics, their Netflix and their cats, right?

How sad but true! When people want what's in their heads rather than what's right on their doorsteps, they miss out, don't they? Good write!

They miss LIFE; that is what I see.

Yes, they certainly did! And unfortunately, the real people are never fully "enough" after the virtual people take over.

The Confessional box is looking rather enticing...3 hail mary mother of gods and I'll raise you a genuflection.
