Semi-shy Offering
(gulp)
here it is
i hope
you like it
'cause i've got dried glue on my fingers
and glitter all over
my bedroom floor
i didn't want to buy it
the very thought makes me puke
i wanted to be original
i used purple instead of red
i found the picture of the perky farmer's daughter
in my uncle Edgar's magazine
she looks like the way you make me feel
i know if she knew you
she'd want you to sit beside her
on the bus
and i sprayed it with my sister's cologne
and i added googly eyes
because i watch you from across the cafeteria
and everything
goes crazy
