he dare not correct even if she be wrong,
why does not her man learn forbearance in love,
he should know her by now, they been married long,
they were on holiday near the sandy cove.
an annoying habit most men she knew have,
to disagree with things female species say,
has a choice of red Porsche or marriage to save,
be reasonable man!if you want love, pay!

An Old Farm poetry contest
Every sentence I uttered in seventh grade ended
with you know...
I think her ponytail is weird, you know?
They are going out, you know.
My dog is a doof, you know?
I think I will watch TV, you know?
After I noticed it I tried to stop it
But it was hard, you know?
It had turned into my most annoying habit, you know?
So I decided to let it die a natural death,
And you know what?
It eventually stopped.
A year or two later.
It did not help that I ran with
Two others who ended each
Sentence with you know also.
I now have a good friend who inserts
‘No offense’ in every sentence, so I always say
I am not offended but she does not seem to
Realize about this habit yet.
I think that is probably the
First step, you know?
She has grace as she walks ahead of me
She moves with the grace of a catwalker
She has a figure to die for from behind
She has me hastily moving after her
I catch up from a close up the figure is good
Then i start my annoying habit seeing flaws
Seeing imperfections where moments ago
I was seeing madam fabulous charm
I notice her nails are bitten and her lips chapped
I notice her clothes are soo much sun kissed
I notice her pretty face has pimples.. mosquitoes
I notice she is not a high class she's mundane
But the spark in her eyes give me hope
Her flawless smile ever so enchanting
Her warm smile completely redeems her
Am won over we exchange pleasantries
Good from far but far from good
But superficial flaws are never
Deal breakers when you know
you found the right person
Engage you will find a gem
For she worth the good guy
If you find a keeper
put a ring on it

Finders keepers
