If in a singles ad you spot
    a 'RUGged individualist'
  Don't be surprised if he
    lays carpet for 'Magikist' *  

  Perchance you'll get excited
    when you read that she is 'curvy'
  Hate to let you down, old stick
    but she just can't type ~ meant 'scurvy'

  When you eyeball 'slightly heavy'
    picture a spare tire in cargo pants 
  And if you ever read the dreaded phrase, 'well-rounded'
    If she's a poster girl for 'Obesity,' please don't be astounded



  _________________________________________________ 
  * 'Magikist was a leader in carpet installations and cleaning
     in the Chicago area back in the 1950's and '60's. It went
     out of business in 2001.
