There once was a man named Grady.
Who fell in love with a bag lady.
Those two just seemed to have a bond.
Of that old lady he was fond.
--
Grady did the best that he could.
To get her back on her feet for good.
As much as she wanted to get out.
Of his intentions, she had doubt.
--
Finally, with nothing to lose,
a chance with Grady she did choose.
There's a reason she took such care.
She had a secret still to share.
--
New clothes and cleaning up a lot.
She was not as old as he thought.
In fact, they were both the same age.
Soon afterward they got engaged.
--
Don't judge the book by the cover.
You might miss out on a lover.
Outside she was old and shady.
Inside she was "My Fair Lady".

Howdy y’all. It’s me, ninong7 aka UJ aka John. Just a short intro about myself. I am a Texan that has retired in the Philippines. I moved to the Philippines with my wife back in May 2010. I am retired from the US Air Force. The music I like is mostly Classic Country and Classic Rock. I guess you could say that I am “Classic”. I play dominoes when I can find someone that will play, I play chess, cribbage, spades, hearts, Empire Builder, Rail Baron, Acquire and a few other games. I like to write poems and stories (although pretty novice) and I love learning about history, just about any history. I’m at home on my computer a lot but if I could afford to, I’d be traveling and documenting my travels to post in my blog. I hope to get to know a lot of you through PeakD and Discord.
