NICHE DATING
A poster at work gives the pitch,
If anyone has the itch…
To find the right date
Just investigate
A website dating in your niche.
-
Cat lovers–a popular scene,
Chess players would be rather keen…
Would poets risk fate
By another to date,
Well, I’m sorry, I’ve already been!

About Jonathan Caswell
Long-time writer and poet...mostly for my and my friends' entertainment. Married, one wife, no kids, but one cat, residing in Douglas, MA, for nearly 24 years. Many interests...God, my wife, trains, life...writing on anything and nearly everything at least once. I prefer the "limerick" "form" for its discipline of meter, rhyme and concise handling of its idea(s), I also use haiku, rhyming couplets, four-liners and an occasional free-form verse. I have interests in folk, work and protest songs, the blues, advertising jingles and the occasional nursery rhyme tune, plus the older Christian hymns...to write parody, or alternative, lyrics! I see no contradiction in writing what some would call religious poetry AND secular, "everyday" poetry. My Christ works in this world too, not just and only in church.
Internet dating based on cats and chess… poetry is a better choice.
Good point and thank you!
Thank you, Herman et Bowie. Refer back to APOLOGIES TO MR. BOWIE, for the doggeral (cat-astophy-?) in question.
Incorporating these into verse would have been interesting…the poster lists:
TrekkieDating.com…for STAR TREK fans,
FarmersOnly.com…for agricultural types,
PURRsonals.com…for cat lovers—the illustration for this was really cute with a self-satisfied tuxedo cat on his knee, with a really nice-looking girl next to them (Mr. Bowie—Dating Specialist???)
Cupidtino.com…for those Apple fans looking for “iLove”…
and…VeggieDate.org…for the vegetarians among us. I’m just passing along the info—no guarantees on any of it. The Lord provided my dating schedule and since 1988, I’ve been unavailable! Good Luck.
