A Dated Date

Dating’s so dated
He lately related
From a date he dated 
Who arrived belated
Named Candy Dayt
A mate candidate?
Who on their first date
Ate eighty eight dates
Straight out of a crate
That doubled her weight
And looking inflated
Which can’t be debated
He wasn’t elated
Which he quickly stated
And later orated
That eighty eight dates
Ate straight from a crate
Is much too dated
And dates on dates
Should be vacated

Yes, but it would take the old Dating Game show to new heights.

Very creative poetry, David. It was a bit dated and a bit overstated, but my need was satiated, so I stated it will not be debated and POTD will have to be vacated. Good luck ol' boy! Cheers, Bill
