Magpie Tales 287 Lucky Ducks

Photo credit: Gerrit Photography
 
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.
