Its a funny thing (its a country song)

Its a funny thing
how people meet.
Online or on the street.
How they affect you
corrupt or correct you.
You never know who
you're going to meet next.

Sitting at my laptop
... the anti-jock
browsing websites,
aiming to web talk
when I run into blog,
journal, e-diary
of a girl
in Redmond Washington
asking "Where
are the gentleman?"
And I declare
that "I'm right here!"
My name is Matt
I don't like cats.
"You speak Afrikaans?
You should write me back."

Its a funny thing how
people meet.
Online
or on the street.
How they affect you
corrupt or correct you.
You never know who
you're going to meet next.

It wasn't too long
before I got a reply
Her name's Samantha
Read at three and spoke at five
She hates birds
but loves Proctor.
Wanted
to be a doctor
for kids and babies
in Tennessee
the capital
of country
for Keith Urban.
Obsessed much?
Maybe

But its funny
how people meet.
Online or on the street.
How they affect you
corrupt or correct you.
You never know who
you're going to meet next.

Went from Doc to nurse
because of family?
Attending E Dub for her Grandma.
As I read
I sat in awe of
Wisdom
beyond her years
head and shoulders
above her peers.
I found myself hoping
she never
disappears.
I feel blessed
to know someone
who always
perceivers.

Strong and beautiful
tough as nails.
Meets a challenge
and she prevails.
I'd like to hear her
when she gets well.
I'd like to see her,
but who can tell.

'Cause its a funny thing
how people meet.
Online or on the street.
How they affect you
corrupt or correct you.
You never know who
you're going to meet next.
No you never know who
you're going to meet next.

I'm trying to imagine a tune to it, but I can't right now. I like the chorus fairly well, but I think there's something to be said for nonspecifics to draw the reader in and let them relate it back to themselves more. The verses could use more metaphors and pronouns.
