BLINDED DATE
This date was just overated
let's start with age (understated)
wasn't all the friend had said
had a funny misshaped head
Did I chance to mention heavy ?
weight just less than a used Chevy
necessitating large foundation
thus largest feet in our great nation
With skin as smooth as most burlaps
or maybe sandpaper, perhaps
and ears like a receiver dish
can pick up broadcasts if so wished
A nose so small within its shade
a crop of mushrooms could be made
hands dainty as country hams
teeth the color of sweet yams
Hair, once brown, had now turned white
at least the eyes were clear and bright
but breath as fragrant as most bogs
with fingers supple as pine logs
In fashion sense I do agree
as long as style was '93
wore tennis shoes with velcroe laces
a tee shirt sporting smiley faces
In all a sorry sight to see
but thats enough to say 'bout me
