Dear Carnsworth I Want Us To Be Us

Dear Carnsworth,

I have been dreaming that we will become an “us” since the first day of school.
You are friendly, and funny, and handsome, and you simply make me drool.
We need a date to give this wonderful possibility a long, sweet chance.
I know that you like kicking a football, soccer, and you really love to dance.

The Twist, Train, Slide, and Macarena are all moves that I already know.
I am quick.   If you teach me some other moves, I will not dance on your toe.
Two months, since Shelly broke your heart, I have wanted to make a move.
My feeling we would be great together is why I am being so incredibly smooth.

Be at Cartelli’s Restaurant at 6:30 this Thursday night so I can reveal myself.
I was told by a girlfriend that you still believe in the jolly green Christmas elf.
Leave your friends at home or I will sneak away, and you will not get a reveal.
I guarantee we will have fun, and I will pay, so you receive a nice free meal.

Yes, I am paying this time, my dear so do not worry your dendrites gray.
I am confident this will be one of many days we will enjoy in every kind of way.
Your sis knows me but is sworn to secrecy, as I want to surprise you on Friday.
When you arrive, let them bring you to the party of fun-loving "Hidden May".

If you are the man I see sublime, you will be there, and promptly on time.
Five months I have had this crush for I see you as the future man of mine.

Thank you Eve. This contest was a long time coming. I had almost forgotten this one. It took awhile to fill up. I am always surprised which ones fill up fast and others crawl along like this.

Even though I know this is fictional, I gotta ask - did he show up to meet his mystery lady?

If he does, he does not deserve her, right?
