The perfect man

I just knew he was the man for me when he said,

“He didn’t mind doing his share of the house work,”

and that he though that “man and women should be equal.”

I especially loved it when he said he’ “loved little children.”

But alas this perfect man named “Jesus” turned my proposal for marriage down.

He said he was “on another mission.”

I wasn’t about to argue with that!
