Eve Roper Poet Limerick

My First Blind Date

My first love was a blind date
A little nerves and I couldn’t wait
Put on my makeup and poked
my eye and I cried and choked
I soaked and was very Irate


I rushed to open the door			
Caught my toe on the carpet on the floor		
Did he think this was unwise?					
With the thump, crash, and cries		
Surprise, I didn’t break the decor	
 
He took me to a gorgeous restaurant
Flowers on the table with sweet fragrant
I start sneezing,   
and hacking
I’m scolded for my etiquette and ailment

 
Takes me home with apologies,  he
With a kind word he tries to kiss me
I sneeze in his face
While he tries to embrace
I guess you're allergic to me
