Lonely hearts

I’ve a face for the radio well suited

And a voice at it’s best when its muted

I’ve got knees that are bony

I am ever so moany

My opinions are frequently mooted
 

But do not be put off by this verse

For I’m sure you could do a lot worse

I’ve a manner that’s kind

And I think you will find

I look lovelier from the reverse

Eph, you know I think I may have met her, scared the shit out of me but then I've always been a bit on the shy side, it takes me half an hour to pluck up the courage to buy aspirins in the chemist, let alone anything else. john

You’re so adorable, but

You're so adorable, but are you affordable? My man has to be rich if not I'm a real bitch, you'll not have my lonely heart if thou dost a lot fart. Ok, it's official... I've turned over to the dark side. ~A "The plain man is familiar with blindness and deafness, and knows from his everyday experience that the look of things is influenced by his senses, but it never occurs to him to regard the whole world as a creation of his senses." ~ Ernst Mach

Go back, go back, do not

Go back, go back, do not enter the realm of rhyme for you will lose your soul to the Devil, and nothing could be verse than that. Thanks Anna John

You appear to be under its

You appear to be under its spell From the symptoms I see, I can tell Though it seems very nice You should take some advice For these feelings somehow you should quell And be careful with that knife John
