An old man, sitting in the sun, reminisces...

             #208

          Young Girls

Young girls so pretty,

Skin smooth and clear,

Hair long and glossy,

Smiles bursting with cheer.

Girls young and pretty,

Eyes sparkling with light,

Teeth white and even,

Smiles that delight.

Young girls so pretty,

Some made to beguile,

Legs long and shapely,

Then there's that smile. 

The British pedestrian...

             #154

              Jane

Standing on the corner,

Waiting for the light,

I see a young man glance at me,

With eye so sweetly bright.

Does he think me pretty?

Will he look again?

One moment of anticipation....

Would God had not made me plain.
