Speed dating


Disillusioned

Disillusioned

I found this on the HD of my old computer... I wrote it a couple of years ago after my first speed dating fiascoes...

 

It was quite a while since I’d been on a date,

Up ‘til then, I was resigned to my fate.

I’d given up parties, and hanging with slobs

For a bachelor’s life: I was holding three jobs.

So I heard of speed dating, I’d give it a fling,

Maybe I’d get a chick under my wing.

That sure would be nice, just to break the routine,

So I bought some new duds, and was looking quite keen.

I got to the place, it was a small sleazy bar,

The stupid valet put a dent in my car.

Our disorganized hostess forgot half her notes,

A relief to the shills with forged tags on their coats!

She announced, “in five minutes, the party will start,

So listen up, don’t try to cheat or act smart.

Pick a number, and sit yourselves down

That poem is genius. You have a real writing talent. And I have done speed dating too and it seems like disorganization goes with the territory.

 

Thanks for sharing that. Made me laugh. :laugh:
