The Searchers
by David Ennion
I’m told I’m attractive
So before life grows pale,
Single mum, early 30s
Seeks a genuine male.
Enjoy walking and talking
And restaurants and drinks.
All letters answered, but
Please no missing links.
Brunette with own transport
Wants good-looking hunk
To help her get over
That two-timing skunk.
Him liking children
Is crucial to me
As when the swine vanished
I remained with his three.
Divorcee with own business
And cuddles to spare,
Seeks mature professional
With the instinct to share.
Appreciates brains
And the good things in life,
But be warned I am nobody’s
Sweet little wife.
Outgoing redhead,
Memory like a sieve
Offers lasting relationship,
Great fun to be with.
Tons of attention
For the right kind of guy.
Six foot homeowners
I await your reply.
Unconventional lady
With new age outlook
Has a void in her life
Where once the earth shook.
Would intuitively like
To be more than just mates
With a Taurean male
Who has similar traits.
I desire close encounters
And perhaps something more,
As a solvent and witty
Self-employed herbivore.
Is it too much to ask
Of you single menfolk
To find a good sense of humour
On a non-smoking bloke.
Non-judgemental female,
Who needs TLC,
Feels that surely there’s someone
Out there right for me.
Desperately seeking
A sensitive chap.
Looks unimportant,
Please enclose recent snap.
