Now It's Time for a Poem

I know my lifestyle is not glamorous
But at least I have done something prestigious
To find someone marvellous
Although I have to be cautious


I know I am not victorious
But at least I have been quite serious
To find someone gorgeous
Although it is somewhat ridiculous


I know I am not adventurous
But at least I have tried something dangerous
To find someone mysterious
Although I am somewhat nervous


I know I am a bit tedious
But at least I have tried something not monotonous
To find someone whose voice is sonorous
Although I have to be conscientious


I know I am not humorous
But at least I have tried something joyous
To find someone who look fabulous
Although I am a bit tendentious


I know I am not generous
But at least I have tried something enormous
To find someone who is precious
Although I am somewhat suspicious
