Spring Formal

Thank you.
I appreciate the offer
and believe
that it’s a good idea.
Of course I want
to go to the Spring Formal
with you.

Who wouldn’t want
a date with a boy
who stares across rooms
taking pictures
and snickering to himself
because he has no friends?

Who wouldn’t want
a date with a boy
who sits in the back of class
making snarkity comments
without contributing
much of anything?

Who wouldn’t want
a date with a boy
wearing flipflops
and tuxedo t-shirts
with untamed hair
and peachfuzz all over
who doesn’t speak to me
except when looking me up and down
like ome prize
that he acts like he doesn’t deserve?
Who isn’t looking for that prize?

Who doesn’t want someone
that acts like you
thinks like you
is like you?
I’m all over it!

So thank you.
I am delighted by your offer.
I am appreciative of your time.
I will definitely go with you
to the Formal.
Just pick me up at ight
over in the red light district.
