Is no one else having a go at the LitRev comp this month? I must admit I've only just written my entry and the deadline is er...later today (it's 12.35am now) - but all of you in the US still have a few more hours.
Speed dating
I know what I am looking for: tattoos
are absolutely OUT, and piercings, too.
I really like this concept - I can choose
potential mates, with no more ballyhoo
than nipping down to Waitrose. What they say
is so illuminating. I can tell
if things are going nowhere straight away.
...But this one's nice. We're getting on so well
that neither wants to move. I like his eyes,
his voice, his beard, his laugh, his polished shoes;
his overall demeanour's a surprise.
I came here as I hadn't much to lose.
I'd love to find a man that I can share
my life with, but I'm fussy, which is why
I won't go rushing into an affair.
I know what I am looking for, so I
ask one more question. This one will reveal
if we could be compatible, I guess.
He sighs, "I must be honest how I feel:
I'm not a party animal." Oh...YES!!
