Search For Mr Right Poem by M.L. Emmett

Apparently it's official
the search for Mr Right
has been abandoned.

After due consideration -
one Vodka Cranberry Tonic
two Manhattans -

There's nothing left to do
but smoke your last cigarette
outside

line up the Tequila shots
with lemon wedges
and salt

and after two hours
of rigorous hip-like-a-ho
Beyonce-butt-dancing

to loud Techno repe-ti-tive beat
avoiding all football players
and other women dis-respectors

accept a ride home
with a halfway decent
Mr Right Now.
