ARIANNA ON TINDER by John Tustin


“Most of you would judge my looks
While sitting on the toilet”
She wrote
As I judged her looks
While sitting on the toilet.
She looked OK.
I swiped right, though,
Because of her comment about judging looks
While sitting on the toilet
Because that is what I was doing.
I had a similarly witty comment
Just beneath my picture.

She did not match with me.




John Tustin is tired of trying to write third person bios. fritzware.com/johntustinpoetry contains links to his published poetry online.
