Things went so well on our first date

We dined by candlelight

We’d met across the internet

An Older Singles site.

 

The wine flowed freely through the night

And conversation too

We hit it off so well the we

Might start our lives anew.

 

But there’s a saying, though, that’s been

The joke and curse of Man

That if you want to make them laugh

Just tell the Gods your plan.

 

One question that she asked and I

Sensed my chance had gone

”How old do you suppose I am.”

I answered, “Knocking on”.
