Impassioned pleas from a gallery
of hopelessly tossed souls.
Click to choose a face for clues,
so many to peruse.
Could this kind restore the part of me
that that mind took away?
There's any easy user, perhaps,
a cheesy boozer?
This one's cute but can't compute.
Should I wink to see, or wonder?
Temporal need may turn to greed
and boredom put us under.
The more I read I must concede
a mind’s not there to plunder.
Now here's one that flirts
with thunder?
A platitudinous naive blunder
though the body looks well founded,
she’s far too attractive and, well,
...grounded.

Thank you for the smile!!!

[mfwilkie]

A couple of quick thoughts on this, Rick.

and far too well grounded. - for rhythm's sake.

that her type took away - to get rid of the second 'that'

I think the use of 'her' brings the N's view closer to intent.

Even though your intent might be for humor, Rick,
it is a serious subject.

Mags, would it be wise to stand next to a well grounded person in a thunderstorm?

[Marion Poirier]

Rick, I like Maggie's suggestion
for getting rid of the second that.
Clever poem though can't imagine
why anyone would take a chance -
too many nuts out there.

How's your son's comedy act going?
