Jimmy liked to play the field
See how easy they might yield
Test his prowess as a beau
Just to see how far they’d go
Tease them, squeeze them, that’s his way
He had no mind for future days
Girl’s romance ends before it starts
Left in field of broken hearts
Then Joan came upon the scene
Cutest girl he’d ever seen
Not the easiest one to woo
He had much more work to do
Jim’s watershed moment came
For this girl was not the same
For this girl was not the same
Loving her was that much deeper
For he'd found a real keeper

Such a lovely romantic piece.. there is often a turning point in a person's life when we meet the person we are meant to spend our entire lives with. You have described that moment so beautifully :D
ReplyDeleteFine poem to record when the game ends and the true pursuit of happiness begins. Just a little difference will do it.

I think Im in a cynical mood after writing my poem today. Happy Wednesday Robin.
I am glad that we finally have the opportunity to find the one. And that we can recognize it when it comes, so we dont miss something much deeper than what we try to fill our lives with.
ReplyDeleteWhat a darling poem, OE, and so fun that it has a happy ending for the playboy!
ReplyDeleteThis does have a sweetness to it...or not...she will teach him a lesson, for sure. His days of playing the field are over, he won't even remember how?
ReplyDeleteOh, how I love this story! Glad he had to work hard and that he realized he had found true gold.
ReplyDeleteI think many go through such learning experiences in dating, but it is good that they both found 'keepers' in the end!
ReplyDeleteah...love this happy ending...sweet :)
ReplyDeleteThis is delightful!
ReplyDeleteSo glad he found true love. This can certainly create a turning point in a life.
ReplyDeleteHappens to the best (or worst?) of them! :-)
ReplyDeleteSometimes they realise too late....life is difficult for the Peter Pans of this world.

The best of watershed moments ~ for sure!

ReplyDeleteHow nice to have made a conquest! Finesse is sharpened through experience, surely oldegg!
