This is just for a giggle

Post by Mariont3155 » Wed Oct 24, 2012 10:56 am

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!

:lol: :lol: 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

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

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

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 8-)

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

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)
