First Date

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I've only two hours to prepare And 8:00 is drawing near There's no time now for going slow Tonight is my first date, I fear. Huh? Where's my new bath gel? This is growing serious! Now I have to use plain soap! I think I am delirious... What? There's no hot water left?! No, please, you must be lying! Whoever did this, stop your plans This is your day for DYING!!! I'll catch pneumonia in this bath It's cold, and that's no lie But now I have just realized that THERE'S SHAMPOO IN MY EYE!!! All right, now that's enough of that It's time to put my hair in place I'm glad my blow dryer is so hot But it's also drying out my face... Moisturizer saves the day! I feel young and healthy once again! But now I'm looking kind of plain My make-up kit is my best friend Hey that nice shade is so familiar How'd you draw that truck that way? YOU USED THE NEW LIPSTICK YOU FOUND WHEN YOUR FRIENDS CAME HERE TO PLAY?! Brother, I'd like to kill you now But I've only got another hour (Thinking now, it's probably he That took the 40-minute shower) The curling iron's warming now I'll do my eyes up while I wait Too bad I'm so meticulous I'll probably end up being late The lip gloss will just have to do It's better looking anyhow *sniff* Um, what's that burning smell? Oh, yeah! I'll curl my hair right now! My brunette locks fall in cascades So far, so good- no problems yet But now I need my hair spray's power To keep it up and looking fresh. Today I bought the perfect dress An Italian designer's piece I hope it's not forever stained Tonight with scary pasta grease! Is it just me, or am I all done? It seems too early to be through... Oh yeah, the dreaded problem hits- HOW TO PICK THE PERFECT SHOE! Here's one- I found it with some ease Now where can I find the other? Oh, there it is! But it's in the hands Of my evil little brother! Give that back! Here and now! That's not yours with which to play! What's that? If I want it back I'm going to have to pay?! All right, you swindler, here's 10 bucks Go buy a bus pass and a tack The tack for you to sit on, and YOU'D BEST BE GONE WHEN I GET BACK! Huh? The doorbell's ringing?! You're kidding! That's not fair! Tell him to wait out there a while I NEED ANOTHER HOUR TO PREPARE!!!She's pretty spastic, huh? ;D Written March 2nd, 2002 © on Mar 02 2002 05:19 AM PST   0 • 14
