Poem
We met at speed dating and you really caught my eye 
I thought I’d hit the jackpot, you were such a handsome guy 
We spent some minutes chatting and you asked me for a date 
Agreed to meet at Gino’s at a quarter after eight 
Dressed to the nines and on the corner of the block 
I saw you’d brought your mother 'Oh boy' that was a shock! 

We spent the night flirting, like the house was caught on fire 
Oh Bob I think you’re so darn hot, you fill me with desire 
I was flattered when you asked me, on a date, that much is true 
But I really wish you'd had bid your Mum a fond adieu? 
I think we could get serious; I’d love to see you more 
I’m pleading with you Bob, just leave your mother at the door!
 
In an ideal world you would be my perfect date
But if your mum doesn’t approve our love will have to wait

Oh, she seems so darn aggressive in a way I can't believe 
and the things, she said she'd like to do with me, I can't conceive 
I hope my Mother doesn't notice all the signs I see 
the way this little woman throws herself, all over me 
Well, perhaps bringing Mom, was not such a good idea 
But how can I take her home, and leave this hottie here 

Ok, I called a cab to take my mother home 
So, me and Jan could have a little time here all alone 
It seems we hit it off, but our time was running out 
When I heard across the room another man give out a shout 
As my heart started sinking, I knew that I'd been had 
When the man came up to me, and said, Hello I'm Her Dad 
 
In an ideal world you would be my perfect date
But if your dad doesn’t approve our love will have to wait
 
Now Jan’s dad was amazing and such a lovely guy
My mother was enchanted his charm didn’t pass her by
So I cancelled the taxi and we talked late into the night
Mum had a gleam in her eye, she chatted with delight
Jan’s dad and my mum left the bar hand in hand
Beaming with the biggest grins in the whole of the land
 
Time has passed quickly; the grass didn’t grow under our feet
If we hadn’t gone speed dating then our parents wouldn’t meet
After a short time dating Bob asked if he could marry me
I accepted his proposal and I’m as happy as can be
Unbeknownst to us dad proposed on the very same day
For Bob’s mum is expecting and has a baby on the way!
 
 
It is an ideal world and we have found our perfect mate
We’re having a joint wedding, our love is down to a speed date
