Friday night clubbing
Out until three
There with the girls
They invited me.
Martinis with olives
Short skirts and midriffs
Hi heels with small purses
Accent on our hips.
Guys at the bar
Drinking beer with their friends
Same as last week
They’ve come back again.
My hair and my make up
Tastefully done
Doing my best
To smile and have fun.
My friends are so happy
They have everything
Three are engaged
Always flashing their bling.
One just got married
Her husband’s away
Said she was happy
To see us today.
I look in the mirror
What’s wrong with me?
I’ll go home alone
That’s how it will be.
Tried dating “on line”
A few times here and there
No one really special
No one really cares.
Too short or too tall
Not all are employed
Time spent at the gym
Pumped up on steroids.
Need a nice guy
No games and no lies
You’d be surprised
How hard I have tried.
Maybe the nightlife
Isn’t the way
Half of these guys
Probably married or gay.

I love your poem. I don’t have any advice in the dating realm. I am (mostly) happily single! When I think about dating, it seems like a hassle. I don’t go out to bars or clubs anymore. I’m hoping I meet a nice man at church someday. If he has a house and lets me retire there, that’s a plus.😂

Meeting at church sounds like a good idea! I would hate having to hit the club scene!
Thank you for your comment!
Hope you’re having a great
weekend! 🦋

Sometimes I think the best course is to realize that we don’t need a man in our lives in order to be content. Once I figured that out, once I stopped seeking, I found I could think more clearly, felt better about myself. If it ever happens, if Mr. Right ever walks through the door, then find, but meanwhile … I’m happy with who I am, comfortable in my own skin. Good poem, my friend!

Hi, Jill! This one was written for my friend’s daughter!
Yes, we shouldn’t need a man in our lives to be content!!!! It’s a cold, cruel world out there! Don’t want to be “looking for love …. in all the wrong places”!
Thanks for commenting! 🩷
