RE: POETRY CONTEST - Runaway Rhymes 7: Let's See, Why Me?
Why me?
I sigh and lean against a tree
Why am I alone at this party?
Why did I get all dressed up?
It's not as if she'll see my getup.
The dance floor's empty, but wait
Maybe she was just a little late
She boogies and spins and hops
Thump, my heart almost stops
I shimmy and shuffle my way towards her
She smiles and the rest is a blur
13 years later as we expect our first
There's a query the answer for which I thirst
"Why me?" in tones of angsty grown man petulance
"Simple," she replies, "because you dance."
That's a sentimental and lovely why me. Thank you for entering
Also pleasantly based on truth :)
