Rising, she thanked for the conversation,
“Insightful! More fun than swiping my phone.”
Au contraire, saved me from dull damnation,
talking to myself. My wife says I drone.
She laughed, “Sly dog, I saw what you did do!
Teed up parable about love and life.
Soliloquy not the first time run through.”
Moi? J’Accuse…! Shouldn’t I think of my wife?
Yet before you go, but one last question.
Will you change your app’s date criteria?
“Yes and no. But I have a confession:
Still smittened by men’s tight posteriors!”
With mirthful smile and wink she did depart.
I wonder… Will she solve matters of her heart?
