Hello again my people!
Tonight we talk of change
You all know what I speak of
That dreaded dating game
Gone, those days of wonder
Where in stomachs, wings would flap
But butterflies are gone now
Their place, a shallow app
Sigh…rather than depress you
And speak the truth today
Instead I’ll joke about it
Make light of things we say
So let me guess, dear ladies
If I stumbled ‘cross your pics
The bio’s not much different
Than the rest of all the chicks’
You’re “not here for a hookup”
You like whiskey and craft beer
Hate shirtless mirror selfies
I bet you “just moved here”
Your heart is pure, still searching
For a leader among men
But that jerk just sent a dog pic
Ugh, here we go again
This brings me to my next point
You women aren’t to blame
We fellas say “I’m different”
But often cheat the game
So let me take a shot here
And venture but a guess
For all I know of others
Is what you say and stress
It sounds most of our bios
All follow common trends
We tell you that we’re different
But nudes? We’ll gladly send
We aren’t here for a hookup
Just the same as you
But when it comes to meeting
A bar is our go-to
Oh, and did you get it?
The picture? Wait, I’ll send
Don’t my gains look awesome?
That mirror’s my best friend
Anyway, I digress
It’s cynical, I know
So much for staying whimsy
This all just bugs me so
Don’t get me wrong, I get it
Just human, all are we
I know that it’s our nature
And perfect, none can be
Anyway, I’m ranting
Let’s end it for tonight
Let’s get back to the real world
This game of swiping right
But ‘fore I finish scribbling
A last thing, I shall say
From deepest heart, I promise
Real love will come one day
Perhaps from out of nowhere
This search, it finally ends
The butterflies will find you
This I know, my friends
How the World Should Work
