THE BITTERNESS OF SINGLETON CITY

Being single is shit, in every miniscule way,
I even miss the bad stuff in boyfriends, like him farting and pushing my head under the duvet.

Weekends are the worst, Sunday mornings together having a snooze,
no longer feeling his hard-on from behind, no longer feeling his premature ooze.

So I gorge on greasy pizza's, thinking "F*** it, I may as well eat the lot",
Im crying out of self pitty, so I reach for some dirty knickers to wipe away the snot.

When im horny, I reach for the draw, the rabbit keeps things flowing,
Durasel batteries are expensive, but luckily they keep on going and going and going.

Single life is shit, ticking that marital status box is a dread,
'cuz now I feel like a spinster, I think Id rather tick that widowed box instead.

Dating is a nightmare, they have turned into interviews,
quick fire questions, do you fit the criteria? Come on just break the bad news.

For my last date was gay, Christ what a night, he was just trying to prove himself straight.
He asked me if I had any gay experiances, I asked him and he said " Yes, Ive had eight!"

Being single is shit, Friday nights my sheets are no longer wet,
Ive started scrolling my phone for names, scraping the barrel of what I could get.

But I dont fancy any of them, so all I except is a Facebook poke.
Maybe one day Ill feel the weight of a handsome funny young bloke.

But for now Ill stay bitter and shout "Get a room!!" to those F***sticks who all snog in the street,
and just to let you know, Ill date any starsign except Gemini's who all patronise, lie and cheat.

I wonder whether it isn't sometimes harder to pull if you are extrememly good looking - in that men think you may be out of their league or frightened to try their luck...I do think that a lot of them are put off by a strong woman also. Hard to tone it down, I know...So what is my advice? Take an ugly pill and behave like an adoring puppet - you'll be beating them off with a shitty shovel.

Naomi - this is really great & does indeed sum up the emptiness. 10 years of wandering around the Asda aisles on my own was no fun. I could've managed without a FK but what I missed was a hug, a kiss and "that" woman smell. fingers crossed love !

Naomi, I love that you have managed to turn these sentiments into a humourous rant.

Very graphic, compulsive reading though! sometimes it's good to let rip and get it out of the system. You are right about Gemini's though we are b*stards and best avoided.
