On my singles website a message was patiently waiting for me
Hopefully the man of my dreams was calling my true long awaited destiny
I clicked on the website and much to my regret
An old man was gazing back to me; a real nobody I suspect.


He spoke briefly about his interests along with the info he was drug, alcohol, and alimony free
He thought these words of comfort would welcome my cooperation now and throughout eternity
I focused briefly upon his wrinkles, his gray hair, the desperate hope behind his light blue eyes
I secretly wanted him to be the object of all my fondest desires; the ultimate social prize.


Lost for a few seconds in thought I ultimately decided silence was the proper way to go
A rebellious act of defiance to a complete stranger I was determined at this time to show
So many men on these websites like sheep passing through a gate
Till wrinkles and gray hair join my family; a long period of waiting may become my ultimate fate.
