Lament of the heavy lover

I saw her on Facebook, sent her a friend’s request

She added me, and then we also met on Twitter

For sometime it seemed that we’d remain unmet

For she had Gchat, I felt Yahoo was much better

 

Once where a poke or a LOL would suffice

She wanted us to meet, it caught me by surprise

I am fat and balding, my profile pic was photoshopped

She was comely, and witty, I felt my stomach drop

 

Reluctantly after a few weeks I have had to agree

My love story I think is coming to an end

We meet today, This is my poetic lament

For who would love a man so bald and chunky

===========================================================

The girl’s reply

Do not think that I am dumb or entirely lacking wit

As soon as you said you worked on the internet

I knew you were shy,  had glasses and were fat

I had to break the ice, make moves, its a fact

 

I want a man with whom I can be comfortable and free

Not another male hunk who ogles at girls who are chesty

You techys will drool over gizmos and talk greek

And wont fuss if dinner is simple sandwich and coffee

 

If you like we can talk on chat box the whole day long

You wont know if I havent dusted or the curtain’s torn

You will drool over browsers, talk in HTML code

Why, you may even someday type me an ode

 

You never even noticed that my skin was pimply

That I am dark, plain and am quite skinny

I have met other men who are quite fussy

You dont know yet, I think it is you who I will marry

 

Its gonna be a great thing you just dont know that yet

Besides computer geeks earn a lot of money on the internet
