This poem is really not pd related, except that some recent threads have
been discussing the romantic life (or lack  thereof!) of a single PWP.
Thought some of ya might enjoy this.  This was inspired by a friend of a
friend, who was on a mission:


TWENTY-EIGHT

I once knew of a girl
Who upon turning twenty-eight
Ceaselessly told all within earshot
Of her great need for a mate

According to her perspective
Time was rapidly growing late
For again, as she reminded us
She was now twenty-eight

The importance of this subject
Which none dared to debate
Was of such great magnitude
That I could not possibly relate

It would seem that to remain single
Would perhaps be my own fate
For I could barely remember
When I'd last had a date

I too in some respects
Would again like to participate
In the universal game of Love
But I am willing to wait

I am not at all tempted
To succumb to the bait
Allowing doubt and insecurity
My own choices dictate

My personal desire
Is foremost to create
A life which will nourish my soul
And that of my future soul-mate
