This is something just a fraction different from my last posting, written tongue in cheek of course.

Dateless and Desperate

Marion Tremlett

I'd been seeking a flirtation (given my state of desperation)
And I'd made an assignation with a gent from on the 'net

But after meditation, my great fear and trepidation
Made me feel this visitation just might cause me some regret

So I quaffed some 'medication' to control my agitation
Then I headed for the station and attempted not to fret

But an urge for defecation sent me seeking sanitation
And I squatted on that basin with a tummy quite upset

The train, my transportation, took me to my destination
And I perched with expectation where our meeting had been set

We'd had a conversation that he'd wear a red carnation
And with slight exaggeration I'd said "I'm a slim brunette"

Well, I sat at that location with increasing consternation
And a dawning realization that the gent was not there yet

To my humiliation and tremendous indignation
That man shirked his obligation to attend our tête à tête

There was no flower, no flirtation, not a chance of conjugation
So no cause for celebration, and no coffee, no baguette

Well, I cursed him to damnation and buried my frustration
And I made the declaration I was glad we never met

Now I sit in isolation; no more heeding the temptation
To succumb to invitations … and I trust I won't forget!

I think you need a nice long shower, Marion!

no more online dating for you my girl - buy a dog they are far more reliable.

Good fun poem with great internal rhyming - thoroughly enjoyed the read and the sentiments.

Cheers

It was a joke, Joyce. I'm not really desperate.
Better luck next time, Ross
Marion

.....

Many a word said in jest Ross anyway I'm desperate so send em my way too


Bob

Not hard up, not fed up, just given up

Go buy a dog Marion - from the pound Marion - that is the only true love that money will ever buy and it is perfectly acceptable to look online first to see what is on offer

Don't give Bob, Marty or Ross any encouragement if Heather was here (where is ya Heather????) they'd be in the naughty corner

Cheers

I have two dogs here already, Maureen, plus three pussies and three chookies and a useless son (except when I want my computer fixed, or a game of 500, or help with the cryptics)
