Dear Jane Austen

Salutations from a girl who is sometimes in love,
a girl who's been convinced her special man should
fit her hand like a glove.
I am grateful for your stories of love amiss - of young,
sassy women & their tales of a long-awaited kiss.
Though I appreciate your novels, subtle insults, poems, & a well-put quote -
I must say, I often long that a special man on me should dote.
Write me a story, o dear, lovely artist, 
may my true love appear soon - I suppose he is just
traveling his farthest.
