Searching for the one

So what are we all doing on this site?
Looking for our Mr. or Mrs. Right?
Not how you thought you’d spend Saturday night
Sending a message, not knowing what to write

Too fat, too thin, too short or too tall
Its morning by the time you’ve gone through them all
So up to bed you finally crawl
And into your dreams you quickly fall

And when you awake you hurry like hell
Back downstairs to switch on the Dell
Which seems to boot up at the pace of a snail
To check your inbox to see if there’s mail

You click on your mailbox and peek with one eye
To see if anyone bothered to at least say “Hi”
Someone has, you’re excited until you read their reply
“I’m sorry but you’re not my type……..goodbye”

And so you begin your search once more
You won’t give in because you know the score
You find someone you like but there’s one major flaw
They’re the same bloody people you E-mailed before


So many lonely hearts gathered in one place
Looking for someone to put a smile on their face
Have so many people fallen from grace?
Or just stepped aside from the human race?

So when you’re next searching, read the text they put in
Don’t look to see if they’re fat or thin
Or judge them by the shade of their skin
Because the person we seek may lay deep within
