Internet Dating-How I Found My Love


Someone once told me you can find anything on the internet. They were right!

I took out an ad on an internet dating service.
I wanted someone in my life, something was amiss.
It was an hour later, still filling out my application.
A lot of it was true and some of it was fabrication.

Finally, I got to upload my photograph.
At this point I was giddy; I wanted to laugh.
So I went through my pictures, finally decided.
Now I could search; I was getting excited.

I viewed all the profiles; they all looked the same.
Most of the men just were playing the love game.
A few of the guys actually sounded sincere.
Their stories were sweet; a few lived quite near.

Next day I logged on; look I had a wink!
I checked his credentials, but he was a fink.
This one was married. Oh, what a bum!
I gave him a finger; it wasn't my thumb.

I meticulously screened and e-mailed many a man.
Some wanted friendship; others had an alternate plan.
One was a staunch Republican; he was perverse.
He could quote scripture, book by book, verse by verse.

He told me all Liberals and Democrats were destined for Hell.
My response to his tainted barbs was simply, "Oh, well!"
I said, "Wait a minute. I am looking for a gentler soul
not some overbearing creep trying to take control."

I finally decided to give looking for love a break.
I decided to resign my membership for sanity's sake
when a handsome stranger sent me a wink.
Now he and I made a connection; we set up a link.
