Single Black Female

While scanning the local personal ads, the other night,
The following headline ventured, into my sight.

"SINGLE BLACK FEMALE, seeks male companionship."
Well there's a catch line, I was prompted to quip.

So naturally I read on, to see what this gal had to say.
"Ethnicity unimportant; I'm a good girl who just loves to play."

Maybe she'd be the one, who could change my hard luck.
"I love long walks in the woods, and riding a truck."

And she continued, "hunting, camping and fishing trips,
Cozy winter nights by the fire," all rolled from her lips.

Is she real, passed through my mind?
Women like this, are impossible to find.

"Candlelight dinners, will have me eating out of your hand."
This is every man's fantasy dream, you must understand.

"I'll be at the front door, when you get home from work,
Wearing only what nature gave me," and my head gave a jerk.

"Call this number and ask for DAISY;  I'm waiting."
She certainly had my attention, there is no debating.

Well I tripped over my own feet, I'm embarrassed to say,
To dial DAISY'S number, and invite her to come out and play

When the phone stopped ringing, I heard this beautiful female voice.
"This is the ATLANTA HUMANE SOCIETY, and I'll give you a choice,"

"Push #1 for DAISY, our eight week old female Black Lab pup.
Or push #2 for STUPID, 'cause your filthy mind's all screwed up."
