I had heard about internet dating
so thought that I’d give it a try
For its hard to discover a partner
with self confidence low, and you're shy
The questionnaire threw us together
we were perfectly suited it seems
Everything that a couple could wish for
aspirations, hopes, visions and dreams
The profiles said, just over thirty
features, good looking and slim
Both clearly obsessed about fitness
with three days a week in the gym
Our hobbies and past-times were mirrored
horse riding, rock climbing and dance
White water rafting, skydiving
para-gliding, when given the chance
The first time we met was fantastic
each filling the others desires
But the thing that was truly amazing
Is, we’re both of us out and out liars

heheheheh! It's going to take forever if I wait for my outside to match my inner vision. Internet dating is not for the faint of heart! And definitely, reality is not either.
What a treasure your poems are!

Too funny, too funny! Have left a link for my dearest hubby to read as we met through the internet, though we were dumb enough to be honest so he knew he was getting a nutter.

Great piece. I entered this contest as well and it took some real effort to take the prompt in a different direction than the obvious. Best of luck in the contest, (not that you should need it.) The rhythm and rhyming are great as always.
Think there was a typo in the third line, think it should be "to" instead of "in." Eighth line needs a space between "hopes" and "wishes." Third stanza second line "riding." Easy enough to fix.
