Joanie

Joanie?
Yeah, she’s cool.
Single too.
Leave her alone.
You’re not allowed to date her
to look at her
to think about her
after dark.

I couldn’t recommend you to her.
I’m sorry.
You’re just not good enough.
She’s too sweet
and smart
and wouldn’t enjoy
all your rampant insensitivities.

Joanie deserves better.
Joanie is too fine.
Joanie could make this decision for herself
sure
but I’m looking out for her.

Any way I could change my mind?
Sure.
You got the money you borrowed during Bush?
What about the ladies
you poached from me back then?

No?
Cool.
Leave Joanie be.
