From the genius Henry Normal

Writer, poet, film and TV producer, founder of the Manchester Poetry Festival, Henry Normal just posted this:

This had me howling with laughter . . .

"A very kind person who follows this page sent me this photo yesterday. It seems my identity has been stolen for a dating app. It has now been taken down. I've written this poem referring to the details therein."

SWIPED 

I’m told I’m on a dating app

One called OK Cupid

As bait to lure a female date

Preferably one that’s stupid

There’s plenty more catfish in the sea

Strange they should steal my identity

It never did that much for me

No wonder they changed my personality 

I appear to have acquired a cat

that I didn’t know was mine

And I suppose I should be flattered

that I’m only fifty-nine

The truth’s clearly not cutting it

Of course they have to lie

So it seems that I now smoke 

and I’ve become a Gemini

It’s certainly news I live in LA 

and rate a ninety five percent score

Who knew I’ve now got kids

or that I might want more ?

It says I never smoke marijuana

so who ate all those Pringles?

I can’t wait to tell Ange, my wife

that apparently I’m single
