Shidduch Resume

What a great idea!
A Shidduch resume!
Put all info on one page,
It's much easier that way.

But wait - what's this?
You don't like what I wrote?
Change this word? Delete this line?
I've totally missed the boat?

Shadchan #1 says:
"That makes you look too frum."
Shadchan #2:
"That makes you sound so krum!"

Then comes Shadchantes,
Numbered 3 and 4,
"Change that phrase!
Are you looking for a bore?"

So I make all the changes,
And send it again,
Hope against hope,
But what happens then?

Shadchan #5
Comes running along,
And tells me to sing
A whole different song.

Right behind him,
Is Shadchan #6,
Who tells me to play,
Some brand new tricks.

What should I do?
Where shall I turn?
Without a resume,
I'm finished, I'm burned.

I'll just have to rely,
On the One Above,
Who has all of my info,
And I can always count on His love.

Do shadchanim really tell you to change the wording of your resume?

Maybe it's only me, but I've been told this by almost all the shadchanim I've sent it to.

That's why I don't have a shidduch resume and I don't go to PSs. Makes life a lot easier. :-D
