I've seen in on t.v. and in many of the books

I have read

How do you get it?

Where is it at?

Is it fiction or fact?

how come the men who wish to marry are not here?

what am I?

champagne and they only prefer beer?

Is my passion to be only found in books?

where are these healthy, wealthy, intelligent

men with their daring good looks?

just in the pages of romance novels no doubt

for they damned sure are not here!

(written March 30,1990)

Author's Notes/Comments: 

the depth and feeling in this and the title of it ( which by the way is the lead character's name) came from some historical novel I read of my sisters (I think the title was Elfking's lady! though not entirely certain)
