We Met Online
We met online,
I was drawn to his sexy pic;
a tall guy leaning against a Harley,
oh yes, I was smitten.
We agreed on a coffee date for our first meet,
I was sitting at my table waiting for Mr. Hunky;
getting more nervous,
then, I heard a guy say to me- hello beautiful !
I was in shock,
and lost for words- wordless;
for this guy would not be sexy ever,
in fact, never, ever.
He said- you look just like your picture- gulp,
and I replied, well you don't- where is your Harley;
and your leather jacket,
oh, have not had that for twenty years- he said !
And the worst part,
was that when I looked at him;
I did not see sleek black riding boots,
there were no tight fitting jeans either.
in fact, this was a person dressed quite sloppy,
he looked like he just rolled out of bed in fact;
and on his feet,
he was wearing blue fuzzy socks and purple crocs !
