Shot Date

Cara’s on the pull with her mate
And hoping to land a hot date
She spies a fit guy
Who gives her the eye
What happened next made her irate.

His work tag reveals his name’s Jim
She flutters her lashes at him
He says’ move over pet
Canney see TV set’
Her chance of romance sure was grim

Inspired by a true story from a sweet friend,
