WLTM GSOH invites a return to innocence, reminding us that spiritual depth need not always be solemn. In fact, humour and joy are often some of the highest forms of intelligence. This poem, now song, reflects a universal longing to be understood and met fully: intellectually, emotionally, and energetically; a partner in emotional evolution.

Artist, visionary, dreamer

Seeks team player, sometimes leader

To share emotional intelligence, cosmic conversation

Wine, dine, dance, animation

Hug, snug, two peas in a pod, two bugs in a rug

Two happy fat cats, sat on a mat, magic carpet, float

On and out to sea, the Sea of Love

Like the owl and the pussycat and one white dove

In a beautiful pea green boat.

Review of W.L.T.M. — G.S.O.H. (Sunday 8th February 2004)

This poem is light, playful, and endearingly whimsical — a lyrical personal ad from the soul, dressed in poetic form. The title, styled in classic dating column shorthand — “Would Like To Meet — Good Sense of Humour” — immediately sets the tone: candid, quirky, and hopeful.

It opens with self-definition:

“Artist, visionary, dreamer / Seeks team player / Sometimes leader”
The lines are simple but layered, outlining a desire for a companion who matches not only in ambition or intellect but in spirit — someone who is equally attuned to the emotional and cosmic layers of life.

There’s a natural rhythm and bounce throughout the poem — a gentle swing between romantic idealism and charming humour. This is especially vivid in the central imagery:

“Two peas-in-a-pod / Two bugs-in-a-rug / Two happy-fat-cats / Sat on a mat…”
The sing-song tone and childlike comparisons evoke comfort, closeness, and fun — not just romantic love, but true companionship.

Then, the poem lifts off into a soft, dreamy closing sequence:

“Magic carpet, float / On and out to sea / The Sea of Love”
— where the earthly whimsy dissolves into a more symbolic journey, reminiscent of The Owl and the Pussycat (cleverly referenced directly), with a white dove sealing the vision with a note of peace, purity, and hope.
