Love me Tinder, love me do

Poem

Love me Tinder,
Love me do.
Every time I log in
There isn't much to do.

Whenever I get wifi
All I do is swipe right.
There must be some catch.
I've not yet had a match.

My profile photo I use
Was taken on Millenium Eve
I haven't changed much in twenty years.
I know, it's hard to believe!

I want a man who's handsome
I want a man who's buff
Yet it seems they look at my profile
And say, my god, he's rough.

So love me Tinder
Love me do,
My app is clearly askew
I tell you what the weird thing is,
It's the same on Grindr, too!



Kookie Forever (Recorded Live at the Blue Walnut, Torquay)

Hello, here’s a poem that I performed the other night. It comes from my collection Woodview, published by Beatnpress a couple of years ago.

It’s about the time we cleared out my Grandfather’s garage after he died, and we found some graffiti on the wall written by my mother when she was still a girl, in 1959. The graffiti said ‘Kookie Forever’, and it referred to a character in an American TV show that she had fallen in love with.

I hope you like the poem!
