Off to the farm
To purchase a cow
To feed my Son.
Farmer,
Line up the cows
So that I may make my
Selection.
That one’s got
Way too many spots.
This one has
Much too much
Meat on it.
My son will get fat.
That other one
Moos too often.
This one over here
Looks like it’s been
Through a lot.
Farmer,
Are there no cows
Good enough
To feed my Son?
Bring the sheep!
No, that one’s
Too bushy.
And why is this one
So quiet?
That other one
Has curly hair.
Probably a bad temperament.
Farmer,
Are there no sheep
Good enough
To feed my Son?
Bring the goats!
Now, that’s better.
This one’s got
A nice long mane.
And nice and thin, as well.
But wait!
What are these patches
Missing from her coat?
Too thin, you say?
Can’t be.
One can never be
Too thin.
I’ll take this one.
What’s that,
My dear Son?
There’s nothing left too eat?
Son, you shall learn…
Mommy knows best.

Ah yes, the lovely shidduch meat-market. Can't say I'm sorry to be opting out of your scene...
I'm with you totally!
Do you have any ideas for a solution?

At Peace with a blog
Hope you soon find a buyer that will appreciate you - it's horrible feelings that you are being checked out and disgarded.
basmelech - at least i made you smile...
lvn - thanx
scraps - don't think it's MUCH different at your end... maybe you don't have the mothers involved as much, but it's still a market...
at peace - nope. sorry. :)
smile - i hope i find someone who won't consider me as a bought item...
Tecnically your husband *will* buy you...and halachicaly he'll own you...;-)
But I wish you lotsa hatzlacha and I hope you never go on sale- you're worth too much.
Great post...
Mommy might know best...but shes not the hungry one
ia - i still hope he won't consider me a "bought item"

I don't know. The older I get, the more mistakes I make, the more I realize mommy knows more then I give her credit for.
smile - it's ok. didn't take offense.

karma dude - oh yeah, for sure. i'm not necessarily speaking of a specific person... i'm talking about shidduchim crazies.
True...b'chol zot, it's still a meat market. Don't I know it....
