Jimmy Was A Romance Writer

Who lived a life without love. Until…

Ed Maughan (edited)

Jimmy was a romance writer
His novels sold and sold
But Jimmy never knew real love
until he was quite old

His novels were just his own dreams
His wishes for himself
Nothing more than Fantasy
put on the Romance shelf

He wasn’t much to look at
Or so the girls would say
He lacked a chiseled man physique
Much to his dismay

To top it off, he went bald
at an early age
A heartbreaking experience
that made him disengage

Why bother even trying
to win a pretty face?
So sad he never realized
a pretty heart could take its place

So Jimmy wrote his novels
and lived inside his books
Where everyone was confident
and blessed with model looks
