  • ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all across Match
    Singles were searching for someone to catch.
    The profiles were hung on the Internet with care,
    In hopes that a hottie soon would see theirs.

    The women were nestled all snug in their beds,
    While visions of sugar daddies danced in their heads.
    I had my belief I’d find a good chap,
    One with real brains who’s not full of crap.

    When from my computer there arose such a clatter,
    An email had come of some urgent matter.
    Away to my mailbox I clicked in a flash,
    Would it be someone great or someone I’d bash?

    I skimmed past the wink from the pictureless fellow
    To get to the good stuff I hoped was just below.
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a half naked picture the dude shot in the mirror!

    The note said, “Hey baby, I want you- love, Rick.”
    I knew in a moment he must be a dick.
    Why are my suitors always so lame?
    I know what I want so here I’ll proclaim:

    He’s dashing, a dancer,
    Whose answers aren’t fiction.
    A comic, a cutie,
    With honor and conviction.
    No religion or kids,
    He’s romantic and tall.
    Throws trash away, throws sass my way,
    Has classy ways all!

    And then in a twinkling, I heard my mail jingle
    My hopes didn’t raise he’d make my heart tingle.
    The email and photo were pleasant, I found,
    And the full profile text had a hilarious sound.
    He spoke a few words, ’bout his interests and work,
    And to my surprise, didn’t sound like a jerk.
    He said that he thought lots of emailing blows,
    But he’d like to meet me, if that’s what I chose.

    I sprang to reply, he sounds like a catch,
    Is it possible I’d finally meet someone on Match?
    I had to exclaim, ‘cuz he sounds outta sight,
    Happy Matchmaking to me, may this be Mr. Right!

    You have a wonderful writing style, it’s humorous and unfortunately addictive. I made it to day 30 by 1:30 last night and I am continuing on this morning, work can wait.
