He never had any use
for old women,
called them old hags.

Until he became an
old geezer, his good
looks gone.

And old hags became
beautiful, mature
women to him.

He Never Believed in Ghosts Until He Jogged through an Old Cemetery One Night

While jogging in a quiet moonlit night, he decided to take a shortcut through an old cemetery.

He didn’t believe in ghosts and wasn’t superstitious, so he had no problem jogging through the land of the dead.

After a few minutes, he sensed a presence behind him and
he saw a ghost running after him.

He ran as fast as he could but felt the ghost gaining on him. He sensed if it caught him, he’d become a ghost too.

Just as the ghost was about to grab him, he reached the cemetery gate, and the ghost stopped chasing him

as if the ghost could not run past the cemetery grounds. He ran fast all the way home, relieved to be safe

until he went to sleep that night and saw the ghost still chasing him in a nightmarish dream.

He woke up screaming, felt a stabbing pain in the middle of his chest, and died of a heart attack.

Now he’s buried in the same cemetery he jogged through,
hopefully not with the ghost still chasing him.

Markus said he was fed up with the single women
in the USA.

He said he met too many of them on dating apps
who were shallow and all about the money,

who overvalued their worth on the dating market, treated
men as if they were disposable and unworthy of them.

So he went to Thailand in search of a beautiful, non-mercenary and humble Thai woman.

He lucked out his first night there, met an incredibly beautiful Thai woman in a bar in Bangkok.

It was love at first sight for him and for her, made love their first night together, got married a week later.

He bought them a house in Thailand, as a foreigner he had to buy it in his wife’s name, but he was good with that

He was older than her and she’d still have the house when he most likely died before her,

But shortly after the sale, his wife kicked him out of the house and moved her Thai boyfriend in.

And there was nothing he could do about it. He moved back to the USA, his dreams shattered,

gave up on dating, but spent the rest of his life pining for a perfect woman to magically walk into it.

Never happened, not even a close call, and he went to his grave a woman-less, miserable man.
