(To be read with an Irish accent)

There once was a guy who was single,

Went looking for someone to date.

But knew that before you would mingle,

You’d want to know what makes him great.

So he started to think about all of the stuff

That made him stand out from the others.

So he tried and he tried but it proved pretty tough,

So he went and he asked his dear mother.

“Oh Jake is so sweet, and such a good boy”

Said his mother, without even thinkin.’

“He’s so funny and kind, and he has a good mind,

And he’s not into smokin’ or drinkin’.”

Thanks to my mother I sound like a saint,

But I’ll tell you up front I’m not perfect.

There’s some things I am, and some things I aint-

But as a whole I would hope that I’m worth it.

Then I went to my friend, one who knows me quite well,

Asked him why girls should yle="font-weight:bold;")give me a try .

“Well, you’re sexy and strong- with a sweet musky smell”,

That was weird coming from a straight guy.

Next I talked to my boss where I have a great job,

To see if he had something to add.

“Jakes a go getter, harder worker, no slob,

If you date him, I think you’ll be ont-weight:bold;")glad.”

But the ones I love most are my beautiful kids,

Who’s opinion means more than the rest.

When I asked what they thought of their goofy old man,

They simply said “Our dad’s the t-weight:bold;")best!”

Just a couple more things: I like travel and storms,

Adventure, and music and movies.

Volunteering, snowboarding and kissing goodnight,

Looking for someone who wants to go do these.

If you’d like to know more send a note or wink,

And you’ll soon know what needs to be known.

But I’ll tell you when it comes to writing I stink,

So it’s best if we talk on the phone :)
