Mr (not) Right (now)

They say that we've each one perfect partner
Someone to suit us down to the ground
So where's mine?
Who's got him?
What happened?
Was I not there at the right time
Not paying attention?
Not listening?
Just messing around?

Now maybe the cliche's outmoded
And isn't now actually true
But, Mr Right,
I'm tired of waiting
What on earth has happened to you?

False advertising

There's someone for everyone out there
You say

I believed
But you lie

There's romance, young love and white weddings
Portrayed

You deceived
And I cry

As the actors are lovers only while they're paid a fee
So we only glimpse what you want us to see

Poor Mr T

It’s the season of colds and of flu

Hands so cold that they start to turn blue

When your nose won’t stop running

You know summer’s not coming

And Narnia just, after all, might be true.

A group of pixels to hide behind
To lie behind
Deride behind
Cast your opinion to the tweeple
Then cry behind
