"When a child I played, entertained myself with crystal sets, later I became a ham radio operator. The fact that I now have an audience of several thousands and growing, that this audience has become increasingly world-wide, and that it hears and sees me while I read my lyric and prose is nothing short of astounding. I love my YouTube!"

SEEKING A MUSE,
A Personal Classified Advertisement
I know what to do!
I am not at a loss, despondent, nor down and out,
Not at all! Ive got plenty of options.
Ill run an ad in Craigs List,
Or a personal in one of those free Weeklies.
Ill write, Single, White, Male,
Looking for a muse,
A girl to inflame my verse,
Make my heart sing a wondrous refrain.
Ill say she must be educated and smart,
Tall, slim, and good with money,
A brunet, who has a pleasant smile,
And whose buttocks own an exquisite form.
Ill require her voice to possess subtle timbre,
Her smell to be sweet and, above all,
Ill demand that she be
Disciplined in work and habit,
Someone to put me to bed early,
And early to arise, a woman who might
Qualify suitable mother for a child or two.
Oh! Did I forget to mention?
I want large brown eyes and an olive complexion.
So dont think, dont believe for a moment,
That you are elemental, like some sustenance crucial
To happiness and breathe, for you are not. Ha!
You see how easily you can be replaced!
Get it straight! I know what to do.
Honest! It's not that big of a deal.
Ill run an ad in Craigs List,
Or a personal in one of those free weeklies.
Ha ! I must send you my Personal Ad on my xyzllii channel...

Thank you for the kind words, and your encouragement of my reading my own poetry.
The poem has been a kind of world hit because of Juan Mann's sponsorship on his video page. I am grateful to him and to you for allowing me to become a part of your respective worlds.
