The first thing you must do, if you’re doing it this way
Is construct a list of attributes, both givens and desired.
Not too short and not too tall, not too round and not too slim
Eyes of blue or eyes of green unimportant in the end.
Absolutely to the smarts, but of an understated kind
The subtle sense of humour of a quick and agile mind.
Dress should be of nowadays, but dashing and refined
A head of hair is preferable, but balding can apply.
Profession doesn’t matter, but dedication does
Youthful daring and bravado should be visible but past.
No melancholy welcome and no tales of should have beens.
.
The list can be adjusted, reweighted, redefined
It can be a rigid policy or a set of loose guidelines
Depending on the specimen the list is flexible
The only thing it cannot do is ever not exist.
