Trecie Roberts - Online dating

I pick and choose
When dating online
Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose
Whilst I think, who could be mine

Searching hundreds of profiles
Hoping for that one
Wondering whose contain lies
And who just wants fun

I receive a new mail
Delightedly I wonder
Will they blow the wind out of my sail
Even rock my thunder?

Damn, it’s a message from admin
As I sink back into my seat
Blah, blah, yes, you’re straight to the bin!
-A regular delete

I scour through photos
Ewwww ugly, ooooh he’s nice or phwooooar!
Some of singledom woes
Others you want to know more

It can become an addiction
Everyday checking mail and hoping
Who are fact and who are fiction
Will I end today again still moping?

But perservere I will
What will be will be
If only for now, sometimes it’s a thrill
One day ‘I’ could become a ‘we’
