Trope PAD 17-1, Rubai

 

College Dating

 

My college years sound like a trope,

With cross connections like a rope,

Between some roommates and some friends.

Yes, it was like a real-life Soap.

 

From ex and beyond, it extends,

Relating in curios blends.

Roomie liked my ex plus a guy.

The guy liked me and here it tends

 

To complicate and go awry.

I liked my ex’s roommate, sigh.

Another friend’s ex asked me out.

I dated him, but not sure why.

 

It grew tangled, without a doubt.

Somehow or other, all worked out.

I got with ex’s roomie, yay.

Roomie got with ex, roundabout.

 

We had some months to date and play,

But then, time came to go away.

I went to Wyoming to stay.

And met my hubby one fine day.
