this is my dating profile

this is my dating profile, an awkward ukulele song i wrote just now

as i go back on various dating apps and am bored, i thought i'd make a dating profile in song. it's really nerdy. hope you like it :)

this is my dating profile
what a silly thing to do
to take a chance that you
will be somewhat silly too

I like to take long walks
and drink Guinness at a pub
I’m not much good at small talk
or being part of groups or clubs

I’m looking for 
kindred misfits
like me
you might not like
to be called
a misfit
but here’s what I mean
by misfit

you question convention
and sometimes break the rules
if you could do it all again
you’d probably skip more school

a good time out is a long talk
that meanders through the mire
stopping by the imagination
to sing a song or stoke a fire

you doodle and you
like to play with words
you have a penchant
for the surreal
and the absurd
you might groan
at my puns
but you have your own too
to which I will 
also groan

you tend to
other
living beings
you let yourself be
tended to too
you’ll let me 
take care of you
when you are sick
I will bring you
a bowl of soup

You are hopeful
you are honest
and you’re just
trying your best
to  live a life
with compassion and all the rest

you’ll bring me good
smelling flowers and we’ll
make up all their names
I’ll make up songs for you
and sing them every day

I’m looking for 
kindred misfits
like me
you might not like
to be called
a misfit


a song for everyone who's trying to find connection in this miasma of zeroes and ones.
