Truly Desperate









Sometimes~~~~
I do really stupid things~~~
This is one of them~~~~
Don't know if I will
ever tell you
About the Others~~~~~


Truly Desperate

 

I must be truly desperate,

As desperate as can be,

I got on my computer

And I keyed in e-harmony.

 

I heard the man on TV say

You are never "too old for love"

So I answered all their questions

What WAS I thinking of???

 

I agonized over every line

Being truthful as could be.

(I won't tell anyone I did this

If it turns out a catastrophe.)

 

So far, I have five matches,

Two Johns, Ken, Karl, and Brad.

But two have closed already,

I didn't think my answers was that bad?

 

I told them all about my stroke

And about my memory loss,

And how much weight I've gained this year,

"Spose that's why they gave my name the "Toss"?

 

I remember what love feels like

When someone cares for you.

Your happiness is their existence,

There is nothing they won't do.

 

But all this talk of “Chemistry”,

You're most exciting “date”

And do you like to travel?

And how do you “Celebrate”.

 

Guess I'm not desperate after all

I'll live in my memories.

For that is where my true love lives

Who needs E-harmony !!!!!
