Kara has found a new lover one might say she has been through a few <br />And he is a bit with the fifty more than fifty one or fifty two <br />His hair at the ends it is dyed dark for to match up with his dark toupet <br />Though she too is not a Spring chicken and she has known a better day. <br /> <br />She feels this one will be her soul mate she has been known to say that before <br />Though she has only known him for a short span for three weeks or at the most four <br />Herself and Brad all lovey dovey the flower quickest to bloom first to die <br />And the love bubbling with steaming passion is quick for to boil itself dry. <br /> <br />Kara is in her mid forties and many years beyond her prime <br />And she has fallen in love often and fallen out of love many a time <br />Her love life a tangle of heartaches her romances start in joy and end in tears <br />Some are slow to learn from experience despite the passing of the years. <br /> <br />Her new lover Brad is much older and in dark dye he covers his gray <br />And Kara says he is right for her but 'tis not the first time she did say <br />That she at last has found her soul mate she has said that often before <br />And she surely is one example of how we repeat our mistakes o'er and o'er.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kara/
