UNWANTED METAMORPHOSIS
I take a look as I race to the mirror.
Trying to calm my vanity's fears.
They look the same as when I had left for the exam.
I probably will not need them, the doctor be damned!
Now I know I have bitten deeply from the apple of youth.
But I must have heard the doctor wrong, that must be the truth.
Hardly any fine lines or wrinkles as in the mirror I scan.
If I were truly older the prognosis I could understand.
How dare a mere stranger take away my youth.
Now that I think about it he was quite uncouth!
He had handed me the prescription almost in haste.
Then gave me the diagnosis which left a bitter taste.
I shook my head and nodded as if to agree.
But I wanted to scream at him, I AM NOT EVEN 53!
I need a second opinion, I am much too young , it is true.
If I have to wear bifocals, my brown eyes will certainly turn
blue!

THE PERFECT MALE?
I have been divorced and alone for too many years.
Went on a dating service in hopes of finding someone dear.
Put together my profile and my picture,ok, not too shabby!
Then I got winked at by Mr. Crabby!!!
The next in line wanted only women tiny and petite.
He was over 400 pounds,so when dancing, I hope he never steps on their feet.
Now I know I am no raving beauty but I never thought viewing photos was such a chore.
I gave up, I just couldn't take anymore.
So I got off line and went shopping, there in the parking lot, I found the perfect male.
I just have to be very careful not to step on his.........
TAIL!!!!!

Spam Slammed
On my computer, friends' responses are a welcome sight.
But I have to search for their e-mails hidden in the blight.
Do I want mega quotes, smart prices, insurances for my car?
Or learn fabulous make-up secrets from the Hollywood stars.
I can get a home loan, free trips, take a survey and more.
Since when did my e-mail address turn into a super store?
Click here and submit to find the love of my life.
Anti-viruses, anti-aging to help rid me of strife.
I have 40 important, life changing messages and as I try to delete.
I am notified, I am the next winner of a summer wardrobe complete.
I used blocks, unsubscribe and requested removal from all the lists.
Oh no! Here comes another ad on helping me find true wedded bliss.
I don't want to impress my girlfriend or become a new man.
Nor need a credit card, poker strategies or anymore spam!
