The Perils of Internet Dating

There once was a granny called Vi,

With dentures, peg leg and glass eye.

Many photos I’d seen,

And expected a teen -

Who says that the camera can’t lie?

You really never know what to expect when you meet someone on the internet, Jack. People are not often as they present themselves in photographs. Your poem's a riot! Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
