Opt Out

Opt Out

A Poem by Dennis Shanaberg
"

It's about having options

"

I’m gonna opt out
For some options,
And find out why
Perfect girls always go for other men.
I’m gonna opt out
And get some options,
And gonna get
The lover who I want with me in bed.

Smart girls
With high grade points
And brain double joints.
Have got it all-
Got it all
Money in the bank.
Instant patent fame.
But hold up
They always end up, turn out the same.

I’m gonna opt out
For some options,
And find out why
Perfect girls always go for other men.
I’m gonna opt out
And get some options,
And gonna get
The lover who I want with me in bed.

Hot girls
With the short skirts
And the low cut shirts
Have got it all-
Got it all
Money to their name.
Instant picture fame.
But hold up
Their personalities are all the same.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Buy me another Dolce and cabanas.
Look at them.
Look at them.
Baby, forget that, maybe talk to you manana.

More than money.  (opt out)
More than personal’ty.   (options)
More than brains in books.  (opt out)
More than flawless looks.  (options)
Don’t just want to be with you in bed.
Don’t just want to talk, (that’s it) instead.

I’m gonna opt out
For some options,
And find out why
Perfect girls always go for other men.
I’m gonna opt out
And get some options,
Not gonna take
Just the lover that life lets me get.

Loved it. Loved it very much. I particularly loved the style of, but I also love how relateable it is. And I really love the last two lines of it. You've crafted one fine poem here, Dennis. Well done!
