Personal Ads

[Wanted:]
Single F, under 33.
Must enjoy the sun,
must enjoy the sea.
Sought by Single M.
Mrs. Destiny, send photo to address.
Is it you and me?

[Reply to Single M:]
My name is Caroline.
Cellphone number here,
call if you have the time.
XXVIII and bored,
grieving over loss.
Sorry to be heavy,
but heavy is the cost.

[Reply to Caroline:]
Thanks so much for response.
These things can be scary,
not always what you want.
How about a drink?
The St. Jude Club at Noon?
I'll phone you first I guess...
I hope I see you soon.

I never got your name,
I assume you're XXXIII.
Your voice it sounded kind,
I hope that you like me.
When you see my face,
I hope that you don't laugh.
I'm not a film-star beauty.
I sent a photograph.
I hope that you don't laugh...

[Note to Single M:]
Why did you not show up?
I waited for an hour,
and finally gave up.
I thought that once I saw you,
I thought that you saw me.
I guess we'll never meet now,
it wasn't meant to be.
It wasn't meant to be...

I was sure you saw me...
But it wasn't meant to be.

[Wanted:]
Single F, under 33.
Must enjoy the sun,
must enjoy the sea.
Sought by Single M.
Nothing too heavy.
Send photo to address.
Is it you? Or me?
