The Lonely Woman

She bought a computer
Hooked it up by herself
Thought that she'd find a suitor
Fit for a tudor

She'd heard friends talking
 How they entered the game
She felt she knew now
She  could do the same

She filled out the description
How she was tall and slim
Job experience on a whim
Lingerie model should please them

Long flowing blonde hair
Pouty lips to boot
Sure this description was a hoot
What else could she say about such a beauty as she

When looking in the room
A different scene we see
Old dumpy woman
Down on her knees

Scrubbing the floors
Baseboards too
Ruffened hands from labor
Would this work at all

Only being truthful
Will get you a date
Even if your life is getting on late
Tell all the qualities that are inside

That is the way to be a bride

(This is not an original idea but comes from an old TV commerical of years ago when 
computers first became available for the general public. I need to work on this.)

Reminds me of how I met my fiancee. I was always curious how people thought lying about your appearance would make someone like them when they finally do meet up, if that is what they wanted in the first place. But then what else would you do on this type of website? Always baffled me to no end. Also thanks for your observation on my darkness poem. I'm glad I'm not the only one that sees it so black and white.
