Old works, number 10: Tinder Poems

Here are some poems based on my experience on Tinder in 2018.

Tinder Poems

Alan, 27

I am a fuckboy,

I will see you as a toy,

At charm I destroy.

Samuel, 29

I am an eccentric as shown by my clothes,

I enjoy inflicting pain on my multiple beaus,

All of society’s ills, I will expose,

My intellect on you will impose,

I’m less attractive, I disclose,

I struck a pose,

So don’t doze,

Or oppose,

Hoes.

Daniel, 25

I dream of being an exec,

From you I would like a peck,

I tattooed my ex’s name on my neck,

Oh heck,

I’m a train wreck.

Karl, 26

What’s my job, you say?

CIA

Swipe, do not delay!

Ed, 26

I pose with a statue of dick,

To suggest my size.

I’m really not a prick,

I just want you to know,

That I’m quite thick.

I’m just a real man,

Looking for a hot chick

I’ll tell you no lies

So swipe right and quick!

Mason, 25

Wild,

Styled, riled,

Celebrity’s bastard child.

Ben, 27

Docter’s my job,

My typo’s a slob,

I’m no snob

(nor a blob).

For you, my heart (dick) will throb

Please polish my knob.

Donald, 29

I have nerve,

I’m here for the perv,

Adoration I deserve.

Lou

I’m a shark,

Isn’t that better than a man?

At you I won’t bark.

I’m a shark,

Not a jerk named Mark,

Of you I’m a fan.

I’m a shark,

Isn’t that better than a man?

Geoff, 23

I am Geoff,

Fit af,

Skilled chef.

Cat outfit,

Does emit,

I’m the shit.

Wanna date?

Or just mate?

It’d be great.

Adam, 25

There once was a man on dating apps,

Who wanted to keep his kink under wraps,

But he gave it away,

In the hopes he could play,

With a lady who would give him some slaps.

Calvin, 23

I wish I was a Viking man, for they raid for treasure,

I have tried to adopt the look, at least for good measure,

I hope you like bad boys, I’ll pillage you for my pleasure.

Jason, 28

Let us start this chat by sharing our careers,

I am currently a medical student,

I will be getting educated for years,

I think it will be best if we are prudent,

I spend a lot of time in cadaver labs,

Where I give some deceased people lots of stabs,

I find cutting corpses relaxing and fun,

I sure hope my macabre joys don’t make you run.

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can read part 1 here , read part 2 here , read part 3 here , read part 4 here , read part 5 here , read part 6 here , read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can read part 1 here , read part 2 here , read part 3 here , read part 4 here , read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
