Dating apps were never a success
Blind dates might be better unseen
And, working alone in his basement
Meant no co-workers to romance
But, he was determined to find love
Attain the perfect date, lover, wife
Set about dating with a frenzy
Certain it could be done
A trail of bloody corpses in his wake
Parts taken and stitched together
To create his perfect bride
