MAIL ORDER GROOM
©2009 Robert C Burnham
The 
iron curtain opened
And your beauty arose
My heart it is lifted
As eastward wind blows
The far side of the Urals
Is where my fortune lies
For I have seen the hunger
Within the sparrow's eyes
A click of your mouse
I'm packaged to your room
A few rubles spent
For a mail order groom

Alas! This sparrow's thoughts
Have already been given
Not to a prince, or millionnaire,
Or a sheikh, or an oil tycoon,
Or all the mail grooms from abroad,
But to a certain Seagull from far-away shores
Who won her heart long ago,
To whom she sang her Lullaby,
Whose embrace inspired her Sonnets
And she will remain faithful to him .;-)
Blessings and best wishes - S.
This ditty originated this morning. I was looking for a Moscow photo and somehow redirected to a 'mail order Bride' site. I thought, you never hear about mail order grooms..... lol
I totally agree, but I bet they have fun. He is just in love with Russia, and no harm is ever done on either side. He met one girl who whas already here. The whole story is funny if you'd like to hear it.
He's a very nice guy, but has no idea how to court a lady.
a mail order Groom, when does mine arrive?
Can I have one?
Sparrow had no other way but to love it. Your flight of words is superb. I want everyone to comment and rate this 100.
Have you seen your mail?

 I love it Robert!! REAlly something different!!!!
Well done Robert. In passing, we have a family friend who keeps bringing girls here from Russia. Poor Larry, he has yet to get married to one, most get homesick. He is on his 5th attempt.
Russian girls are NOT for "bringing", dear Sharon - maybe this explains your friend's failures. They follow only their heart. :-)
Blessings - S.
True Sveta dear but many Russian girls and woman put themselves in magazines advertising themselves wanting to marry foreign men.
The girl who got murdered did just that.
A mail order groom... hmmm.... you're right: we don't hear about those much. Time for a change in thinking!
How bout a mail order cowboy?
Or a mail order biker in leathers!!!! Awesome!
For you Ann; Only for You. But this cowboy only plays lead fiddle.
Robert, what a thought. Mail order grooms, and you're right! Never heard of one!
Good one, Robert.
Mail order? If the post office hadn't just raised the rates ....
Well, it sure sounds like a case for equal rights to me. Mail order grooms deserve the same benefits as the brides.
Hahaha. We don't need no mail order brides here in SA. Hardly a week goes by that beautiful Russian ladies aren't here on visit.The other day the Kirov ballet was here and many musicians visit our shores.
But this very weekend thare are are hundreds ( I think) of Russian ladies here...for the the 100 mile Comrades Marathon. They come every year and take 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc places every time. No one else gets a chance.
Too silly Robert ... I'm agree with the "mail order cowboy" :)
Does a mail order groom clean, dishes, cook, and anything else I can think of? lol
I still haven't figured out how I got redirected to that site this morning. The pics were nice though - lol.
I love the idea of a mail order groom! Now... should I shop the "handyman" category, the "sensitive" category?... hmmm... It would be hard to decide.... is there an "all of the above category?
Cute little poem. I'll leave the mail order grooms for someone else. Your sis
Ladies, I'm available as a mail order groom and I even do windows lol
Seems like something you should look into! Te he!!
It will help fill your loneliness. Not unless you've found the one!
Thanks for posting to my group, Anythingwriting
Where do I sign up for one????
Loved this Robert although...oh heck! Never mind. :O)
I loved this poem. Great job.
That was great thanks for sharing
Can I get one too?
I like this, Robert....:) Well done!
Love the answers your getting.
If some other Moscow girl decides to accept Robert by post, I will volunteer to package him up and slap some postage stamps on the box and kick it to the curb. (Just kidding, Robert-not-Bob.)
Good little ditty, but I gotta say, that is one lucky seagull!
Rory, you still aren't upset that I told all of India you wear dirty dresses, which I admit was a slight embellishment. :+)
Finally Gather is allowing me to comment. I am honoured! Sveta is the first one that came to my mind also. Maybe she has a sister? I loved your sweet poem Robert!
so,,,,,,,,, how much are they?????? or are you? LOL, sorry!!! had to ask! smile
Barb, you qualify for the kentucky discount. I'm FREE. However due to demand, this offer expires in thirty days.
:+)
If I hear of any lovely lady needing one I will let you know, give us more of your credientials. LOL.
Free? ahh you sell yourself short, I would probably put at least a 50 on you!!!! LOL
Yep. take me to dinner with that 50. By the second margarita, you'd probably have me shirtless. By the third? let's just say they'll be joyful sounds coming from the coat-room.
Barb, I'll see that 50 and add another 50. Maybe I can get him out of the coat room.
thanks
very nice!
CUTE I REALLY LIKED IT
