quiet boy

A Poem by anais.vionet

I love making someone's day with a compliment - it's my super power =]

There's a boy at school, he's SO quiet.
But sometimes he'll speak-up and say something that's **so** funny

A couple of times I've tried to talk to him, after class,
to tell him how funny I think he is, but he practically vanishes.
Kim & Bili (My two BFF) think he's super shy. I find funny *very* attractive.

Now, even in our dull virtual class he can say something that fractures
- even the teachers think he's funny - they never get mad.

When this lock-down is over I'm going to lasso him and tell him.
We might have to work like a posse, corral him from three sides like a skittish colt.

I'm not going to tell him I find him attractive - *duh*.

But I will tell him that if someday he's a famous comic,
like Seinfeld or Chappelle, I won't be surprised.

There aren't enough compliments in the world - I love
those delightful moments, when I can surprise someone
with the miniature perfection of a complement.

Does he see the enchanting power of his humor?
Maybe he won't care *shrug* but I'll wake up that
morning to the thrill of the chase and just doing
it will make my day.
