To Date Poems | Examples


Premium Member Who wouldn't you want to date someone like me?

what's not to love!
I'm fun and I'm quirky
unusually charming
I like to be happy
and it doesn't take much
a kind word a warm smile
from a guy who's got love in his heart

Premium Member To Date Or To Mate, That Is the Question

Carrie and her gals, swell, suave and witty, 
For Big or Small don’t have any pity. 
A perfect mate 
Or a hot date? 
Unresolved take on Sex and the City!

Premium Member Chevy and Ford Try To Date

Silverado truck and F-one fifty Ford
Went on a date but both got extremely bored
Chevy made a wheelie and Ford promptly booked
Date didn’t last as long as the dinner we cooked.

Premium Member Irma - a Review To Date

Irma – A Review to Date
By Franklin Price
9/9/2017

She started off of Africa
The place where she would form
The waters there compatible
For the Atlantic, more than warm

She would travel westward
Getting stronger as she went
God knew all about her 
From the devil she was sent
chorus
Th ocean fed the hurricane
Irma became her name
Winds went to 185
She no longer was a game

That wind speed set a record
The highest for the longest days
A score and fifteen days to last
A dangerous and crazy phase
chorus
The islands didn't slow her down
At least not from the first
She leveled there most everything
She was the very worst

Eventually she decreased speed
From a five down to a four
She's now down pounding Cuba
As she knocks on Florida's door
Chorus



Chorus
The weather men were quite confused
Did not know where she'd go
Maybe they should ask the Lord 
I'm sure that he would know

Premium Member Men You Definitely Wouldn'T Want To Date - Part 2

I once dated a chef …
I was worried about getting a bun in the oven
But when I saw him mincing across the kitchen
I knew I wouldn’t be getting my fingers burned!

I once dated a fireman…
Oh he was HOT HOT HOT
But when he got out his tiny hose
It soon put out the flames of my desire

I once dated an electrician ..
Hoping that he would light up my life
But he was short tempered and would quickly blow a fuse
Sadly in the end there was no spark between us

I once dated a plumber…
I was flushed with pride when we were out together
Sadly he had problems with his waterworks
I ditched him… he was always taking a leak

I once dated a bricklayer
Couldn’t resist pointing out my faults
He wouldn’t listen, it was like talking to a brick wall
In the end he drove me up the wall and our relationship crumbled

Premium Member Men You Definitely Wouldn'T Want To Date - Part 1

I once dated a pilot …
We both had our head in the clouds
Our relationship lead to a lot of turbulence - 
I guess it never really got off the ground!

I once dated a glazier…
He thought I would be putty in his hands
But I could see right through him…
He was constantly smashed

I once dated an undertaker…
He knew he had stiff competition
I couldn’t cope - he was always ‘coffin’ when he picked me up in his hearse
He had no sense of humour in fact he was dead boring

I once dated an angler
The thought he was a real catch…
But the scales soon fell from my eyes
As he was obsessed with his flies

I once dated a footballer
He thought he could score with me
Told me he had great tackle…
But it was just a load of balls

I once dated a fishmonger…
He thought he was cod’s gift to women
He invited me back to his plaice…
Where I found out he was really a cold fish

Up To Date Version of An Old Nursery Rhyme Lol

Sings a song of sixpence
A pocket full of rye
4 and 20  blackbirds were baked in a pie
The king was in the counting house counting out his money
The queen was in the pantry eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden pegging out  the clothes
Along came a blackbird and pecked off her nose


Is this how the modern version would be



Sing a song for sixpence no chance of that
A bread roll full of Turkey not a tart
The king was looking for his wallet
The queen had taken it to town
The maid wanted paying for her services
Threatened with a face job if she didn't calm down

Do Not Try To Date a Writer

Do not try to date a poet.
She will know that you have read her poetry, 
That you know her sadness runs wide
And shallow
She has spread it like oil
Spilling across a street
You can see the light reflecting in it
Like rainbows
She will hate you for finding it beautiful

Do not try to kiss her
She will fall in love with you
And hate you
All at once
She will write poems about your lips
And their tenderness
And their force
She will kick back like you are 
Gagging her.
She will scream.

Do not love her
She will think you an intruder.
She thinks herself weak and you
A predator.
She will seal herself up
Run hot candle wax over her poems
And when the seal breaks
And she spills into your hands
She’ll curse you for not being able
To hold her
Together.
