I should be glad to be alive
But I hate being single aged 55!
My friends on Facebook are having fun
But they're all in couples, in twos not just one.
Romantic dinners and hikes in the Dales
Cream teas, spa days and trips to North Wales
The closest I get is a trip to the SPAR
It's just round the corner so not very far
A BIG bar of chocolate, ready meal for my tea
Which I eat while I binge Grey's Anatomy
Perhaps I need a new hobby, should I join a gym?
A book club? A dance class? I could fit something in
It just takes too much effort to move off the sofa
Far easier to sit here, a permanent loafer.
I could scroll on my phone, do online dating
Read profiles fake yet FASCINATING!
I'll send a wave, a smile, whatever
I like to think I'm being clever
But not a sausage, no reply
I add a new photo - I really do try!
Maybe I'm just not the greatest catch
Perhaps I am part of a faulty batch
And sadly I'm now out of guarantee
As I climb the stairs, you can hear my knees.
But people find love when it's meant to be
Cupid's arrow may fly but it never hits me
Perhaps I'm looking in all the wrong spots
My What Three Words muddled, words/three/what????
So, I wrote these words to commiserate
With all who despair at the lack of dates
Except the ones in the dried fruit aisle
And I do hope my words have at least made you smile :-)
