Online Dating

So I thought that I'd try online dating
To see if there was a man for me
But the only men that found me attractive
Were between fifty and 103

I ticked all my preferences boxes
Not many - I'm not that fussy, I swear
Just things like "must have own teeth"
And (preferably) "own head of hair"

But the replies are not flooding in
From tall handsome strangers in lust
Maybe I should have been less demanding
And are "own teeth" really a must?

Harassed men with damaged flowers
hastily bought at service stations
Wonder how they confounded
their wives' high expectations

You said you wanted a poem
I said I'd see what I could do
So here it is
It rhymes as well
And it was written just for you*

Kill the Wabbit*

The first grey hair - it means nothing
Until it is joined by a companion or two
Suddenly, rabbit-like, they're multiplying
And there's nothing that you can do
