Contestants row

A love poem about letting somebody down easy.

Not everyone is lucky to be able to be a game show contestant,

It is literally luck because everyone is put in a bowl of names,

I don’t like shows that are fixed,

Because the host has insight into who is coming down to play the game,

When they game concludes there can be one winner,

Like on The Price is Right people overbid each other,

When it comes down to love you don’t want anyone to get hurt,

Nobody wants to be stood up,

But you can be a dumpy,

Or the dumper,

Be strong,

Treat the experience like a game show you lose some and win some,

You know the qualities that you like in the opposite sex,

It can be their smile,

Or the way they tell a joke,

You may have the same taste in music as goes for movies,

You want to give the person a fair chance to prove themselves to you.

Honestly is very important to me,

Game shows have rules that make fair play possible.
