What To Use As Bait

What to use as bait
What wouild catch him?
Compel him?
Inspire him?
Intrigue him?

Should she be herself
Or someone more daring,
More exotic, more lively?
She had some choices to make
She chose unwisely
Landed him 

They married
And her real self came out
Lesson learned
Use your true self as bait
You may not want to catch a fish
Who has nothing in common with you

Unfortunately many people are tasteless bait and attract those that are just as much or more! / M
