i just found the silliest thing that i ever wrote in my old computer files. but before i reveal it, i have to provide the background info. junior year, a bunch of my friends and i were intrigued by this one senior guy in choir, mike. i don't really know why we liked him so much, since he was kind of mean and bitter, but maybe that was his appeal in a sea of goody-goody choir boys. anyway, my friend zeena had a crush on him, and i always thought it was a joke-thing, like it was for a lot of people. i found out that he had asked one of the girls we knew to the prom, and when i told zeena, i didn't expect her to tear up at the news. i felt so bad about it, so that afternoon, i wrote this lame thing to cheer her up (it started out as a few lines and suddenly turned into an epic):

For the Temptress, to make her feel better:

I'm sorry to see that Zeen is so sad,
I think that she feels like she has been had
She was in love with a boy, and thought that he was too,
And she found out something that stank like poo-poo.

He asked another girl to the senior prom dance,
It was so unexpected, almost by chance.
Zeen felt like her heart had been thrown in the gutter,
Trampled, and broken, with moldy bread and butter.

And suddenly, she saw red through her tears,
She gritted her teeth at the memory of his leers.
She exclaimed to her friends, "Here's what's going on:
I hate him, he's nasty, that mean leprechaun!"
Her buds felt for her, they sympathized,
Even if they thought that he wasn't such a prize.
She got caught up in college, careers, and the like,
And soon she forgot that odd little tyke.

Time went on and things turned 'round,
Boys loved Zeena all over the town.
For dances, she didn't have to wait to be asked,
While the Notre-Dame boy was taken by the flask.
Lonely and desperate, he crawled to her door,
And he asked her for a chance, crying, "Please, just one more!"
He begged and he pleaded, he looked quite absurd,
And Zeena laughed as she kicked him to the curb.
(She didn't actually scar him for life,
He eventually wed a rather dull wife
He got along fine, even without his dear Zeen,
But he wasn't as happy as he would've been)

Zeena met a new guy, he was wrapped around her thumb,
She no longer said daily that "Boys are so dumb!"
They got engaged, were married, and had babies galore,
Named Casey and Jojo and Bert and Lenore
Freddie and Bertha and Gretel and Trent,
Nothing could make Zeena even more content.
She lived happily with her family on Sunshiny Pike,
And never looked back on her old love for Mike.

The End

i should be a poet. then again, maybe not, since i would starve to death due to outright failure.
