I'm for sale, I'm for sale,
not to sound like a total whore,
but I've seen your preppies, jocks
nerds, hard rocks, geeks,
and even a couple more
But all those other ladies
don't lay down the right tune
So by tomorrow night,
if the song is right,
we'll dance by the moon
I want some one who dances salty,
but doesn't kill the Salsa,
I want some one who's a sweetie,
and doesn't stop the mamba
I want some one who's loyal
Who's will as strong as her song
I want some one thats friendly
so we can dance all day long
So if you're back to the dance floor,
Remember what's on the market,
my heart, my love, my memories
Girl, time to dance, go on work it.
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
But by tomorrow, this offer expires
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
so hurry before the price is higher
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
But by tomorrow, this offers gone
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
So be bringing your dancing song
Cuz I'm for sale, I'm for sale
We'll tip toe down the isle
I'm for sale, I'm for sale
and I haven't danced in a while
I'm for sale, I'm for sale
The price is all of your love
I'm for sale, I'm for sale
So come and get me, love!

Good Work!
I come from a very male dominated family and this is kind of the way every female is made to believe. I don't know why but it felt good to see it in writing and coming from a guy. ) -
-
Thanks very much
I break the mold! 
Gender is merely a title, and shouldn't be a job description. Life's all about love and being who we are the best - and happy! Thanks again!
-

Wow!
There are so many comments on this poem already...I feel...behind or something. I don't know. Anyway, well done! I didn't laugh about this because it actually made me sad. Maybe I'm weird? It's just that this poem depicts a desire for something real and true, and the price has nothing to do with actual money, and everything to do with something deep within us that no one really understands these days. People throw around the word love so lightly now, that we've lost sight of the fact that love is something that you give your whole self to, and get that person's whole self in return. At least that's how I see it... Well done, Bryan! This poem got me thinking.
The Gold Trophy was well awarded.

Thank you so very much! And I completely agree, it's not weird. It's meant to be a happy verse, but when one really and honestly thinks about the world we live in... The only ones with real advertising voices are the ones with the prettiest face and most revealing tops. Love was such a sweet thing. Like cake. The more you have, the sweeter you feel. Have to much, and you vomit. The cake is not enjoyable any more. It's less of a desirable dessert, and more of an unhealthy addiction.
Thanks again!

LOL I thought this was great, truly, it reminded me of when I go out clubbing with my friends [I guess you're a little young for that!] and it's literally like a meat market out there;
"I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
But by tomorrow, this offer expires
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
so hurry before the price is higher"
That literally sums it up; the attraction isn't based on what you're like personality wise, where you work, what kind of person you are but purely on looks. You can literally see and feel people of both genders looking each other up and down, or suddenly some guys hands on your body, turning you to face him at which point you either consent to dance [meaning you think he's cute] or make a disgusted face and back away [meaning take your hands off me you ugly monster!] God knows how this has bandaged some peoples' consciences!!
Honestly, this was wonderfully written, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it

Thanks so much! This was seriously one of the most indepth comments I've ever gotten and I seriously appreciate it
Thanks again!

These are some pretty fun lyrics.
They're on the happy and upbeat side, which I must add to myself eventually (one of these days)
This isn't a crazy hard rock song or anything, but I can so see it being sung with a guitar in-hand by a camp fire. Can't everyone?
The first stanza made me smile when you put in "not to sound like a total whore." - lovin that part ^_^
I like the 4th stanza the best.
"I want some one who's loyal
Who's will is as strong as her song
I want some one thats friendly
so we can dance all day long"
It's very descriptive and you're sure of what you want. Loyal, strong as her song - I like the words you've chosen.
It's very good.
Love it.
Sincerely,
Poetrydove

I loved it! It's so amazingly awesome! It really got me laughing through it and it's just so entertaining. And again, it's got it's own rhythm to it as you go along. I really did enjoy this one a lot!
My favorite stanza would definitely be the third. I love how it moves and how it uses the types of dance with it. It really made the piece for me.
And again.. LOOOOVED IT!

-
waterroxie
Sad? O.O It was one of the requirements for the contest, to write a personal ad
-
-
ohhh
i get it
-

I don't often read a poem out of the feature box unless the title has a lure and this title worked a treat at introducing the poem,the repetition gave a lyrical effect and indeed would be effective within lyrics as a hook line.Methinks may be a typo in the penultimate stanza isle/aisle.This write made the reader smile,it was a pleasant interlude and provoked much thought,good luck in the contest

Cute idea but reminds me of a song. I just couldn't catch the tune, the flow was all over. One has to feel good about himself and have a humourous side to do this. Thanks for sharing.

I enjoy this! It's very great. I could hear music in my head as I read this, which is very uncommon for me. It was very well written and made me smile, something I've needed in quite some time. Great job!

haha cute poem! sounds like it could use some work though - im not sure what - but all i know was at the beginning I was really confused what you were trying to write about. Have you ever taken Music Studies in school? There, (If you're more interested in writing lyrics) you learn the structures of songs and the basis of how to write lyrics and such - i took it in Gr. 8 instead of Band and it was the best thing that started off my music-writing career!
Lines I like the most:
I'm for sale, I'm for sale
The price is all of your love
I'm for sale, I'm for sale
So come and get me, love!
If you want, I have a really long lyrical poem if ur up to reading it - it's called Hey Girl - check it out and there is prolly a few more lyrical poems on there if you want some guidelines.
If you're writing lyrics, here's a good tip i learned in Music Studies: The Chorus is like a poem itself - it has to mean the most out of all the rest!
Keep Writing - you have talent!
-
-
Darkwriter24
Ah well lol I'm still working on it majorly, I just wrote this as fast as I could to get the thought down So it's in progress! ^.^
Ah they don't have music studies here... or anything else in the way of arts. :| It's depressing
Thank you so much!!! ^.^
Talent? I hope so!!
Mucho Dankies!
-Howie-
-
-
Thanks
hahahahha this was really good. And its a song :]! I love the how you are selling yourself for love , but you're not making yourself seem like whore. Just looking for that special person .
My favorite line:
"(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
But by tomorrow, this offer expires
(I'm for sale, I'm for sale)
so hurry before the price is higher"
This was very clever!Thanks for entering this was great for my first entry! Good Luck
-

Bloved 'Thanks'
Oh wow, thankyousa! ^_^ Yikes, I convinced my self of the need to have a price sticker o.o
Thank you so much!! You're too cool! ^____^
