A reinterpretation of Betjeman



The love song of handle 997


Miss J Hunter Dunn Miss J Hunter Dunn
I swiped right just for fun
Smiling out from my mobile phone
Meeting you could not postpone

You accepted my chaste request
I passed the screen test
Meeting at eight in the bar
Hoping for no speedy au revoir

Miss J Hunter Dunn Miss J Hunter Dunn
You were late for this dry run
You asked for a coke with lime
I thought your style was quite sublime 

I liked the way you thought were funny
I was nervous hoped I had enough money
I tried a joke it wasn’t good
You laughed for me you understood

Miss J Hunter Dunn Miss J Hunter Dunn
We posted a selfie but only one
You liked my shirt my hat and coat
I watched the delicious curve of your throat

You did not give me a choice ma'am
You followed me on Instagram
I friended you on Facebook too
This is the way we now woo

Miss J Hunter Dunn Miss J Hunter Dunn
Our second date was in the sun
I took you up to London Zoo
We held hands walking through

And now on media we quip
Our status is relationship
It did not take long for me
I’m happy to say that you agree

Miss J Hunter Dunn Miss J Hunter Dunn
Wedding bells today have rung
I am yours and you are mine
The web has made our hearts intwine
