Introduction

My sister in law is a single intelligent woman, trying to find the ideal man. After a girls' night in we decided that eating her favorite meal on a date could turn her man off rather than on. Dedicated to Marsya

Pasta and Dates

Never eat Spaghetti when you're trying to impress
Not even the Queen of England can eat it with finesse

I had a date with a guy, a perfect Aquarian
He took me to a restaurant, which served Italian.
I decided to choose spaghetti, it's my favorite type of pasta.
But ordering it on a date is potentially a disaster.

At first I tried the sauce, a tongue tingling tomato base,
But in the act of eating I transferred some on my face.
I used my napkin skillfully and hope he didn't see,
Then I twisted the pasta around my fork, it catapulted on my knee.
Embarrassed, I sucked up a length of noodle, in true Italian style
It made my eyes pop out, I must have looked quite vile!

My date leaned over towards me and gently whispered in my ear,
"I've enjoyed our date immensely, but your eating is severe,"
"I do want to see you again, of course there is no doubt".
But next time my darling, please order the rainbow trout!
