"Can someone make my simple wish come true?" (973). This line is from "Lonely Hearts" by Wendy Cope. This line is actually part of the pattern of the poem. This and another line alternate back and forth at the end of each stanza, then they are both said at the end of the last stanza. This is the same pattern of "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night." This poem I think talks about how everyone is looking for their someone. It reminds me of a dating website, but in poem form. What makes me laugh most about this poem is the irony. This person is literally looking for anyone, but in the last stanza says: "(with photo)" so they're saying that they want to be with someone, as long as they look nice. Which seems to me a lot like today's world.
