Threadbare

You wore out your welcome along with my patience

That's all folks

I’m not here to entertain you
When your friends don’t have time
Someone who’ll reply to your texts
And laugh at your ‘witty’ lines

Not someone to wait in limbo
Until you have a spare half hour
Not a princess stuck in a castle
You’re no knight -
and I’m not locked in a tower

Manchester

She looks out at a world
Unfurled, turning and
Burning with hatred
and releases a pink balloon

Eurovision

We didn’t win.

Again

Our singer didn’t have the Bucks Fizz-ique

No Chemistry

Two things occur
As I sit, cross, frustrated
by you, the most recent
of men who I've dated
Who rejected me on my lack of allure
Did you kiss me so often
Just to make sure?
