How come Italians end every sentence with catfish. I can't for the life of me figure it out. All I can think is the must love seafood. I enjoyed your poem very much.

This is excellent, Craig. I agree with you. The old fashioned way of dating is much better, gives people a chance to see each other in different circumstances instead of fantasizing, which is usually erroneous. However, as you mention, I do know several couples who have met and married through on-line dating. Your poem flows really well. It's amusing and I think, true. Good rhyming. Great job. Marilyn

What a creative and charming way to express the absolute frustration of dating online. This is such a relatable subject, told in a fresh and vibrant way!

Comment from Cindy McIntyre
This is a wonderful poem. I loved your choice of topic. The online dating horror stories (catfishing) seem to be prevalent--a timely issue. Your sense of humor shines through, but sadly, some of these stories ring true! :) I loved the show, Catfish. Enjoyed your use of Yorkshire mile.

CD,
What delightful fun!! This read so well and so smoothly -- not a single speed bump or pothole to slow my avid enjoyment. *smile*
Favorite, favorite lines:
In his brown eyes, she never could get lost;
the doctors, at his birth, declared them crossed.

Thanks so much for the big smile tonight!!
