I went to Carrabas for dinner last night
Nice little restaurant… an eating delight
My friends had arranged… a blind date for me
They said that I’d love her… “Just wait and you’ll see”
I arrived a bit early and asked for a booth
Sat down and ordered... a martini vermouth
I anxiously fiddled and gazed towards the door
Then looked at the walls… at the restaurant decor
Suddenly standing with the hostess named Dee
A vision of beauty and she’s pointing towards me
She walks up beside me… and says “Are you Pete?”
“Why yes” I did answer… “Won't you please have a seat”.
Her eyes they sparkle… she enchants with her smile
Oh she is lovely!….Has class and great style
Her laugh is contagious …she moves with great grace
Her pleasant complexion… her bangs cross her face
"Who is this woman?" "And where is she from?"
So over powering I know I’d succumb
Stunning in beauty perfection achieved
I must win her over... before we do leave
We had a great time and our dinner was great
She gave me her number and we set our next date
I can’t wait to see her... I’ve found my true love
Sometimes a blind date... is a gift from above.

This is a great poem. It is well written and I didn't find any mistakes. The rhyme and rhythm are good too. It was a pleasure to read. Ironic how you're blind date turned into your true love. I can just imagine you there sweating it out and then in walks this beautiful lady. You must have been floored. Is she still your lady?Great poem.
