Blog one get one free! - I said "Blog one and get one free!"

Everyone enjoys getting a bargain but sometimes we get more than we've bargained for.

Anyone who's ever been on a blind date will be able to relate to this!

Blind Date

They met beneath the town hall clock so she’d be safe from harm.
She recognised him straight away by The Guardian under his arm.
They talked about the weather and the economic state.
She hoped the conversation would improve, she was prepared to wait.........

Ninety minutes later, according to the town hall clock
The situation worsened - it came as such a shock.
He looked into the starry skies, romance was in the air.
Perhaps a little kiss she thought, she really didn’t care.

She wasn’t prepared for what came next it took her by surprise.
He shook her firmly by the hand as he looked into her eyes
“I’m sorry I must be going, you know what it is like
The moon has gone behind the clouds and I’ve no lights on my bike”

I couldn't just leave it there. Me being a bit of a romantic, it had to end happily ever after!!!!!

Happy Endings

In search of love and true romance
She thought she'd give him a second chance
So once again she gave him a call
And arranged to meet by the old Town Hall
The clock struck seven and on the dot
He appeared at a jogging sort of trot
And swept her up in gay abandon
Saying "you'll never guess - I've bought a tandem"
They pedalled off with joy and laughter
And both lived happily ever after.
