No Artificial Ingredients

by Susan Allison

genuine parts true value bona fide  
sophisticated lady seeks gentleman a gentle man 
for love and friendship not pretend-ship  
strings attached  
enjoys counting chickens before they are hatched 
dogs cats kids allowed  
works for herself for others and God  
earns twice what she used to in less than a nod 
laughs easily likes music and movies drinks coffee and tea 
gets a kick out of London and old Zuyder Zee 
at the market or a friendly soiree from this moment hence 
tell friends you require no artificial ingredients
