I am a nice gal
Getting sick of the game
Want to meet decent man
Who is looking for same

I'll respond to your emails
I'll answer your calls
I dig what you're saying
I don't put up walls

I like to read books
Have a large home library
But so tired at night
My reading times vary

I'm well educated
Have a BA in French,
Two teaching credentials
And I'm good with a wrench

Don't teach any longer
The kids were too mean
Still work in a school though
Education is keen

Just bought my own house
I'm a strong single mom
My ex has paid nothing
But who cares? I've moved on

My music's ecclectic
Not into much new stuff
I like the old rock bands
Sammy Hagar is still buff (love him!)

I like "New Age" and classical
I play the piano
Beethoven's my hero
Too bad his hearing was a No Go

I'm not that athletic
Though I go to the gym
Work out every day
Getting slim once again

I'm looking for friendship
First and foremost
I need a connection
With flesh and blood, not a ghost

What I want is some kindness,
Courtesy, respect
These dating sites suck
I'm about to eject!

Email is OK
For awhile at least
But one must meet in person
Is it Beauty or Beast? (figuratively speaking)

What else can I tell you
We may not be a match
But I am a good woman
I am a great catch

So if you want to have coffee,
Brewsky or wine
Consider my humor
And drop me a line

Conversation. Friendship and dating at first. Open to more if there's a connection. It all starts with coffee or a glass of wine...
