The Blind Date

My name is Flutter T. Flies, my phantom date ferociously said.
I will remember his cocky attitude until the day I am dead.
Do you like frogs? I asked, in a silly sing song voice.
I am super sassy too, my name is Kathisha EverBee Joyce.

He rolled his eyes and acted like I was not the cat’s meow.
Which made me angry, and I mean furious now.
I saw pink, orange, blue and red in my mind.
How dare this Tom be nasty to me, a rare find.

It was a date set up by our mothers, idiots apparently.
We are not suited any more than a spider web to a bee.
I watched him devour fries in a weird ugly toothy way.
And I was glad to leave the buffoon at the end of the day.

Hello Caren, blind dates do not go well. Just like yours did not go well. My bind date brought a friend with him, so you could say I was dating 2 men at the same time. it made me feel uncomfortable. I never went on a dare with him| Them| again. Hugs Darlene
