Lookin' For Love (In All The Wrong Place(S)) Poem by Joe Rosochacki

Lookin' For Love (In All The Wrong Place(S))



I've spent a lifetime looking for you
Single bars and good time lovers, never true
Playing a fools game, hoping to win
Telling those sweet lies and losing again.

I was looking for love in all the wrong places
Looking for love in too many faces
Searching your eyes, looking for traces
Of what.. I'm dreaming of...
Hopin' to find a friend and a lover
God bless the day I discover
Another heart, lookin' for love....

Did Waylon Jennings put that on the billboard in the vicinity of Nashville?
However, Tom Feltenstein, did that same thing in Florida, on I-95,
I would guess in Boca Raton or in West Palm Beach; I feel.
Tom advertised for a love, this self-described millionaire,
--advertised himself 'for sale'; if you will.
Tom had been advertising for a young attractive woman, preferably Jewish;
I would think and feel.
'Mazeltov' his friends would've said on the day his love had been found.
Tom was not into the dating scene, or even the many datings.com, or any runaround,
Of this certain kind.
Maybe he should have waited for Tiger's divorce to become settled,
When he could marry 'up' to Tiger's soon to be ex-wife, Elin Nordegren,
(who is asking for 300,000,000.00 dollars, that's a lot of zeroes according to reports)
Though, I don't think that she is Jewish.
But in any event,
Tom didn't advertise outside of a Congregation or Synagogue in Boca Raton.
He is not moron.
He would advertise for his 'arm candy' in big, bold letters,
In advertising, the more 'hits' you have the better.
But he found his wife, Cindy, through rather normal means, around the subdivision.
Tom met his wife Cindy, not through the billboard, which he paid tons of money for,
But their dogs played together, -and soon they would play house together,
- by getting married, that was their decision.
In Palm Beach, where Bernie Madoff 'stole' billions,
Feltenstein, who was a self-described multimillionaire before his divorce(s) ,
- wrote a book for gold-diggers', it was entitled,
'The Insider's Secret to Marrying Millions.'
Tom, in his own words in the book,
- so 'Shakespearean' words that are a contemporaneous true.
'To have money or not to have money that is question? '
'Marrying for love puts you in the poor house,
while marrying for money gets you a mansion in the hills
and vacation home in Maui. Stop kidding yourself, and face reality.
Someone's going to marry them, why can't it be you? '
So I'm personally 'happy' for Tom and Cindy,
And I imagine that they were happy when they did their first kiss;
Maybe the two of them will find marital bliss.
Tom could forget about his billboards and books.
He will be forever in love with Cindy from what it looks.

--At least for the moment.
