Evie Hh Poet Rhyme

Online Dating Failure Number 1

Tim is tall. Handsome.
Works in an office.
Like all of the others
he looks kind of polished.
They say small talk is dead.
So I ask for a date.
The chat's a bit stale so
I just tell him straight:

"I'm not really that pretty,
I'm not particularly smart
But I can love you with all of
my sad, sad heart."

I can see the fear and flight
in the face of sweet Tim
Online dating's like a fairytale...
it's bloody grim.

Evie H

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
