Dated once a ballerina,
learned she only ate farina.
 
Then a barmaid caught my eye
but like some cocktails, very dry.
 
The English teacher – what a sport!
‘Til she assigned a book report.
 
That harpist from the symphony
was ripe for plucking, not for me.
 
A children’s doc had much allure
but often suffered croup du jour.
 
Two editors of legal news
spoke only of it. What a snooze.
 
A comic’s now made me her choice.
She’s serious! I thus rejoice.
