Weekend

I've texted four of my close friends
And all are busy this weekend.

One has a date.
One has a child.
One has a husband by her side.
One is tired from her week
And needs to use the time to sleep.

So I will do the single things
The cinema
A shopping trip
I'll read a book!
I'll write a play!
I'll put it on, on Broadway!
Bright lights will temporarily
Make me forget I'm lonely.

Single Supplement

I am the single
Supplement
No other soul to represent
An increased spend,
Two breakfasts please,
Champagne for two
with strawberries.

I will not spend that extra cash,
I won't tip big just to impress
My paramour
For I have none,

And so you charge me an extra sum.
