What’s The Point Of Dating?

What’s the point of dating?
You know it just won’t last
When the guy in question
Can’t help but mention
The legions in his past?

What’s the point of dating
When his photo has been pimped?
The guy’s so hairy
(And just as lary)
You’d mistake him for a chimp

What’s the point of dating
Someone who ‘just wants fun’?
Double vodka and cokes
Until you’re broke
And left with a sore bum

What’s the point of dating
Someone’s who’s not your type?
Conversation is strained
And brawn over brains
Just doesn’t match the hype

Oh what’s the point of dating?
Can someone tell me please?
Pass me a cloth
He could do with a wash
While I’m down here on my knees

That’s it, I’ve gone off dating
I’d rather see a band
Learn to send Morse
Ride a horse ’round a course
Go to bed with my right hand

But what if I stop dating?
Will I end up on the shelf?
A single gay lad
Rattlin’ ’round in his pad
Feeling sorry for himself?

No way! If I stop dating
I absolutely guarantee
When I’m out on a run
I’ll bump into the one
That Heaven meant for me

And then we will start dating
This time, exclusively
No aggro, no walls
We’ll give it our all
And see where things will lead

Once again I’ll stop the dating
And go down on bended knee
Feeling delirious
I’ll want to get serious
A partnership, you see

So that’s the end of dating
I met perfection on a run
I’ve dated some chimps
Suffered dinner with gimps
But wasn’t dating fun?

    Lol – love it! Aw, I’ve enjoyed reading through your poems, Stu. I didn’t realise you wrote poetry also. I have a small collection of poems too! :)

      Once in a while the poet within me takes hold and I have no choice but to get it down. I find it useful and a friend of mine is putting some to music. I like changing my writing approach to things, coming at them from another angle as I find it uncovers new things :)
