She was seated, well-poised, and waiting
Her face showed intelligence as well as beauty
She took care of her body
She had the sweetest voice ...

I sat down beside her
Like a finalist in the lottery

She was a workaholic and hated mistakes
She named her little dogs "Cash", "Money", and "Diamonds"
She married her husband because he kept asking her too.
She gets angry if he makes the same mistake a third time

I met her while waiting for a bureaucrat to call my number
We talked for a long time and I finally asked her-
Have you ever been in love?
She thought it over and decided
The answer was "no."

It was right about then
my number came up
I was glad to say goodbye.
