Old Man Online Dating
Was it me? Did I say something wrong?
Am I some boring automaton?
The chats were fun and even light,
Don’t think I gave some hurtful slight.
Perhaps I wasn’t quite wonderful,
had good looks, or financial pull.
Don’t think I ever came off too shy,
but then again I would never fly.
Wasn’t snarky and surely not mean,
yet never successful in online scene.
Maybe what angered each little honey,
was that I'd not send lots of money.
Mexico’s out and Malaysia too,
and steered clear of European zoo.
So guess there’ll be no Russian teens,
shall I now try the Philippines?
[Was thinking of calling it LAMENT OF THE OLD PERV. And I chuckled while writing it.]
