Poem by Eugene Jones:


My Mattress & I

Night after night, for years on end
My mattress has been my closest friend

My mattress and I are cozy and pally
There are hills on the side - I sleep in the valley

It clearly reveals the shape I'm in:
Where I'm thin it's thick, where it's thick I'm thin

It's contours reflect the first and last of me
It's very nearly a plaster cast of me.

I miss my mattress when I am gone:
It's one thing I'm made a good impression on

I love my mattress a bit too much. I wish
someone would intervene between us.
 

 Hi Cyber Pal,

     Can you understand this; Writing a personal ad is not easy.  It's like trying to open a lock without the combination and you only get one shot!

     Honesty is key, but also formulating my words so you understand I'm more than a click of the mouse.  Despite my incarceration, I'm a good man who's not afraid of dedication or hard work. 

     I'm 6'2", 220 lbs., 31 years old, clean cut and well groomed, athletic guy, with smooth chocolate brown skin.  I'm cigarette, drug and disease free.  Emotionally and financially stable, so I'm not seeking donations or a guru ( LOL :)

     Although I do speak Spanish, I'm also fluent in listening and since my incarceration, I've become an accomplished Paralegal. ( My field is Civil Law).  Presently I'm polishing off my breakout novel.  My other interests include animal line breeding, carpentry and the Para Normal.  ( Taps is my show!)

     I'm without children or Baby Mama drama, although I believe a man's greatest responsibility is to his family.

     One of the reasons I placed this ad is that I would really like to meet new and interesting people.  I don't care how boring you think your day is, it can't be as bad as the cellblock conversations I must endure.  So, how about we start a nice vibe and share some laughs?

     "Have you ever heard the one about the talking dog?"

     Another important reason is.....Well.....see, I have this friend and she says I'm a sap because I still have faith in love.  Call me crazy, but I feel it's extremely possible that Miss Right will see this on her screen and contact me!  She will laugh at my corny jokes and I won't care if her feet do look like big monkey hands, because we will make it!
