I Once Met A Man ...

I looked for a man in September,

I looked for him all the way to December,

This is my story I tell,

With no whistle or bell,

To the best of my ability to remember.

I once met a man at a party,

Thought now I could get cute and flirty,

I begged him to stay,

He told me he was gay,

And there went my plans to be naughty.

I once met a man at my church,

With him, I hoped I would end my search,

He told me a tale too many 

And left me with nary a penny,

And ran away leaving me in the lurch.

I once met a man at a mall,

Like a hero, he was dark, handsome and tall,

I twisted my ankle,

And fell in a tangle,

He laughed at me, would you believe his gall.

I once met a man at the theatre,

He was dashing and bold to the letter,

A popcorn we shared,

Thought he really cared,

Until he walked off with another.

I once met a man at my college,

Seeing him alone I pressed advantage,

He said he was Adam,

Politely called me Madam,

And left me to cry at my dotage.

I see now there is no man to find,

I look back these months in rewind,

Searched for in vain,

With no gain but pain,

It's best I leave all these memories behind.
