Such a Handsome Man
Her neighbor never noticed her until the dark night when she knocked on his door.

Such a Handsome Man!




+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++





She wept as her days dragged sadly by.
Never had she felt such desperate sighs.
For he who held her heart never paused
Though she flirted boldly, he never thawed.

She primped and posed, and dyed her hair.
She bought an array of dresses most fair,
And she passed his house day after day,
But he never peeked to look her way.

Oh, what would it take to catch his eye?
How to interest such a handsome guy?
She moaned and groaned almost every night.
But he kept the windows sealed up tight.

So one gray night she took him a cake,
Chocolate with nuts, and he was awake.
He answered the door and invited her in.
Oh, my, she thought. What a gorgeous grin.

Ah, the night was young, with barely a moon.
So they played music and danced to a tune.
And Marilee sighed, so happy at last
His arms were around her, holding her fast.

The moon slipped behind the clouds of gray,
And darkness plunged all the light away.
Marilee laughed when she felt him bite down,
But then sighed and died with an ashen frown.
