Men Seeking Women
Personal ads from the 80's
No electronic emails then
Only newsprint pages rustling
Heard while riding on the bus
I read "Genuinely nice man"
No mention of "fireside talks"
Or "walks on the beach"
Straight forward honest words
Serendipity.

Well over 25 years ago we managed
to find each other. We are lucky ducks.
Thanks to Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales !
Yep, we didn't need the internet back then. It's sometimes more harm in the dating world than good.

ReplyDeleteAh nice, it's important to read into what's missing too, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteawwww, this is wonderful, Stay blessed
ReplyDeleteCute ducks. I do get a Sunday edition of our local paper but sometimes it's all 4-5 day old A/P wire stuff and not much local. But it still works to drain the bacon of fat and keep water coloring grandkids from coloring too much of my world.
ReplyDeleteOh my Gosh , must have a GSOH !
ReplyDeleteNow that's a truly happy ending!
ReplyDeleteTruly lucky! Truly happy you had such luck!
