Caren Krutsinger Poet Light Verse

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?
