One Tiny Flaw

One Tiny Flaw

By Elton Camp

Roger met the woman of his dreams
He used the best online service it seems

She was beautiful & extremely charming
And had a manner that he found disarming

They happily made arrangements to meet
He expected to fall in worship at her feet

When they met at a very nice little cafe
Roger saw she was what she did say

She said, "Hello Roger, I am Char.
So glad we met, tell me how you are."

They sat and talked for over an hour
Roger fell completely into her power

"Why not come to my place," she said
As she winked and nodded her head

Roger liked everything that he saw
Until he discovered one little flaw

One that he could never come to stand
It turned out that Char was really a man

Hey Joel, I got the idea from an experience related to me by a guy who read my poem about the dangers of chat rooms. I often get ideas from readers that lead to a poem. Thanks for reading. Elton
