Monica

A humorous story/poem based on my experience being clumsy and geeky when talking to girls in high school

The guys stare as she struts dashingly down the aisle
Practically sweating from her radiating smile
Didn’t think or even didn’t want to blink
She could make you melt, knock you out with just a wink
She’s got the potential to match her good looks
Didn’t think she’d go for me, a worm in the books
Thought she saw me as nobody, but I must’ve had something
Once something happened and I didn’t see it coming
I’m sitting at this table by myself, solo, all lonely
I look up, she’s coming my way, her pretty brown eyes fixed on me
Looking good as usual, with that smile on her lips
Chills went up my spine, my palms were sweaty, I dropped my chips
She was 2 feet away, my insides totally shook
I told myself, “Don’t look nervous, she’ll call you out, catch you like a fish on a hook!”
I was a total dork, when she got to me I looked down
I thought to myself “Stupid! Stupid!” I felt like a clown
When I heard her say, “Hey” I slowly looked up
But I clumsily tipped and knocked over my juice cup
She giggled joyously, so much for being cool
There it goes, now she thinks I’m a lonely, clumsy fool
I tried to cover it up, I cleaned up the mess
I said, “I’m so sorry, I’m feeling kind of tired and stressed.”
She giggled again, smiled and said, “It’s ok.
Its no big deal. Oh, and is this seat taken by the way?”
I got a bit excited, could this really be?
Monica really want’s to sit and lunch with me?
I had to stop daydreaming, before she’d leave me on the spot
I shook my head slowly and said, “No, its not.”
My heart raced, I thought, “Oh yes! This is my day!”
She said, “Alright” and to my surprise, took the chair away
She paused for a minute, then turned to look at me
She said, “Thank you, you’re so nice and sweet.”
I felt totally dumb, even thought she said that
She picked the chair back up, took it to the table with her girls to chat
My confidence had such a terrible fall
She didn’t want to eat lunch with me after all
I sat back in my chair, feeling sad and hurt
Once again I got walked all over, like a road of dirt
What fantasy was I having? Obviously the same one
Seeing me and Monica kissing under the sun
Becoming high sweethearts, going to prom together
Going to college, getting married, living life together
In a huge house somewhere, 10 kids: 5 girls and 5 boys
On second thought, I probably couldn’t handle that much noise
