What Women Want
A group of girlfriends on vacation,
Find a five story hotel with a sign that reads,
"For Women Only Destination,"
And decide this will serve their current needs.
A good looking bouncer at the door,
Explains to them how the hotel works,
They can choose to stay on any floor,
If they are happy with that floor's perks.
So they go to the first floor but in vain,
For a sign there written in large text,
Says,"All the men here are short and plain,"
They laugh and move up to the next.
The second floor's sign still presents a problem,
And just doesn't satisfy their desire,
The men here are only short and handsome,
So they decide to move to a floor higher.
The third floor's sign reads that the men are tall and plain,
They still want better and with two floors left,
They decide there could be much more to attain,
Surely the next floor won't leave them bereft.
On the fourth floor the sign is more exciting,
All men here are tall and handsome for sure,
They start to go in, it is so inviting,
But wonder what they'll miss on the fifth floor.
They move to the fifth floor and read the sign,
"There are no men here," it states with caution,
For the floor was built only to define,
That there is no way to please a woman!

two sides to that coin. Multitudes
of women still languish on that 'fifth
floor,' because they too, have been
passed by when they discover the men
didn't want them either, and for the
same reasons.

Too true, too true.
It's a hard road but I'm sure you've had some experiences on the way.
Catalogues? I think I'll have to come to California.
Spiffin'. It's good to know someone knows what they want. I fit all your criteria by the way. I do a passingly good English accent.
