MAY CONTEST WINNER

Submitted by scribbler on Mon, 2015-06-01 18:43

I am pleased to announce the May contest winner is Alid for his humorous look at dating. I'm sure you will all join me in congratulating him and I hope everybody had a good time reading the entries.

DATING BLUES

Submitted by alidzain on Fri, 2015-05-08 03:45
Let me tell you the dating game can be tough
I know this is true because I had it rough

The first seemed decent to me
until I learnt she was once a 'he'
with the adam's apple clearly in sight
and a voice that gave me a fright!

Another was slim in cyberworld
and a body beautiful enough
and when I see her fats in real world
I can't run fast enough!

The third claimed to be shorter than me
and when we met, I wanted to cry
because she was a giant to me
and my confidence turned into a fly

I'm feeling traumatic and weary
I'm beat and looking sorry
for now, no more dating sites for me
they've shown me liars in reality

Hello Ian

thank you very much. I never think I could write a humorous poem before but now I realized it is not impossible as long as I believe in myself.
