Lonely Heart Column

Is it too late to go on dates with ladies, fat or thin? An ad I place to find embrace; replies come flooding in The first is brash and has a 'tache; the second, very gruff; the third decrees she'd like to see me standing in the buff. I pay for drinks and then methinks I'll never find the one: it's cost me pounds and all I've found: it's boring, 'stead of fun. This dating game is pretty lame; I want an easy life. a sorry pup, I now give up... I'll stay here with my wife! * purely fictional for Sara's Pink Domino contest

Congrats on your win - I truly like your poem. It reminds me of a comic ad I laughed about once, "Looking for potential wife who owns boat - please send picture of boat." - Same humor is in your poem and I sure enjoyed it ... CayCay

Wello done, Jack! Congratulations. Pleased to see that you followed the lead of Pink Domino and did a solid internal rhyme in lines 1 and 3. I think that nothing else says "playful" quite like that technique. Loved your poem...Larry
